It could well be. Is it a droning noise?

Ah i'll dump them out the car see if that sort's it.yes there is a droning noise but also a kind of squealing noise misses says sound like the hairy thing from star wars

99% sure it's wheel bearings! I've had to change bearings on both prelude I've had, and yes it's this annoying droning noise that gets louder the faster u go.

I wondered how long it would take for a serious answer.

It could be either a wheel bearing or the squealing could be a sticking/seizing caliper. Or dare I say it both? The caliper is an easy check to rule out by seeing if there's movement, while its off a little clean up and regrease of the slider pins should be done. Then check the wheel bearing for play - hold the wheel top and bottom and see if there's movement, then again right to left. Not necessarily always obvious play though.

if its a sticking caliper the disc and wheel will get hot after a drive

just jack up the wheel and spin it if you cant hear it from that slowly turn it and you should feel it grind

Ok will try it out at the weekend thanks guys think it might be a sticking caliper
