- My 80 Civic with 100K miles has started making a little lunk, lunk, lunk
- sound when turn I left through an intersection (i.e. at greater than driveway
- speed). As I recall this is a sign of wheel bearings starting to go. True?
-
- If so, do I need to worry about it? Is there any reason not to just let it
- go until it becomes really obvious? Will my wheel come off and leave me
- dramatically stuck in the middle of an intersection (not to mention having
- an interesting effect on the underside of my car :-)
