Help

So I have a 2008 civic ex 2door. I got the car and I know for a fact my struts are shot to the point I can’t get an alignment. The cars stock, all that’s been done by me is a rotor and brake pad replacement along with a timing belt. I got the car around 6 months ago and i noticed around 2 weeks ago when I break, Its a loud creaking groaning noise that is coming from the back of the car and is timed based on my breaking speed. Ex: it gets slower as i slow down. I was just trying to figure out, I know my suspensions shot but if it could be a wheel bearing? That was my best guess but the noise is only when i’m breaking instead of constantly. Not sure but would appreciate some insight!

So you didn’t do the rear brakes just the front? Pull a wheel and inspect it.

Re: Help

Are you sure you didn't do a serpentine belt? They didn't have timing belts in 2008.

Sounds to me like you have a bad wheel bearing, though. Confirm by lifting whatever wheel the noise is coming from and shaking it.
