My car is going to the shop!

After having my car a year, 23,000 miles later, it has been a great car, still is for that matter..now after searching thru the forum as a result of a grinding noise I have been hearing coming from my passenger side, I am taking it to the Honda dealer to see what the prob is. My thoughts would be CV joint or strut..we shall see!

Could it be the brakes? Let me know when you find out.

That is what I thought at first, but after seeing people having problems with their struts and CV joints, it kind of got me thinkin. Anyways, it goes in Monday, so I will keep you guys updated...the grinding noise isn't constant, more or less a recurring grinding noise as the wheel spins usually when I am backing out or parking...and you can feel a thump in the steering wheel when it makes the noise...weird huh??

Update for what was wrong with my car after it was at the dealer: they found nothing after 2 Honda techs and a rigorous road test worked on the car...put my rims back on and knock on wood, its fixed. Bad news: broke my freaking key to get my lug nuts off...good thing I got the piece out of the lug nut that broke off!
