Honda Civic. Manual - part 320
Axle shaft noise is similar to gear noise and pinion bearing whine. Axle shaft
bearing noise will normally distinguish itself from gear noise by occurring in all
driving modes (Drive, cruise, coast and float), and will persist with transmission in
Neutral while vehicle is moving at problem speed.
If vehicle displays this noise condition, remove suspect parts, replace wheel seals
and install a new set of bearings. Re-evaluate vehicle for noise before removing any
internal components.
