Stop opening new threads everytime something new pops into your head. Search the forum, and if you do not find anything relevant then ask. If you need help with your car, just ask all questions in one thread.

As I said before, they never learn.

You need to explain in detail what the noise sounds like, no one can identify the issue by you just saying "noise"

Topics merged and title changed to reflect the thread.

There are plenty of good known honda mechanics out there. Stick with one of them..So then no need to worry about the issues & parts.

Firstly, a wheel alignment place will not be able to provide you with a correct diagnosis of the problem IMO. Ideally they should be able to, but most wheel alignment places in the country just deal with... well... wheel alignment. Most of them wouldn't be able to tell you if its a suspension issue or something to do with CV joints or drive shafts (or bearings for that matter). My advice for you is to go to a good workshop and get the car checked out.

Secondly, normally the sound heard from a worn out wheel bearing is not the kind of sound you've described. The bearings will give you a deep roaring sound (let's just say a "grrrrrrrrrr" sound to make it clear for you). Plus, the sound from a worn out wheel bearing will be heard always (mostly at high speeds) and not just when cornering (as you have explained).

As for a good place to get this diagnosed, try this thread:

http://forum.autolanka.com/topic/15974-good-mechanics-technicians-workshops/

Do a search, I remember someone sharing info about a honda-specific mechanic somewhere in Malabe (short drive for you).

Better to do it although the alignment would not be affected much. BTW if you intend to keep this car with you pass the next 5000km you should have changed the left side bearings as well (Unless of course you keep the car running always in an anti-clockwise circle ). If you have two bad bearings it is very likely that the other two are also due.

bagUrE · June 26, 2014

So if you are planning for a wheel alignment job, it is better to change the other wheel bearings before that, as Rumesh advised. And check for other possible front end repairs too (rack ends, tie rods etc.)

Finally I got meter board with tachometer...

Now when car starts its idle near 800..

But I switch on headlight its drop to like 400 rpm..

Also my new Meter board temp needle top up (red mark) when I turn acc on my key...also when I switch off igingation temp needle drop down to low...

But my old meter board temp needle works OK..all other gauges were working

kmcsb · July 8, 2014

this one i installed... mine eg8 single carb....will it compatible with my car???the person who sold m told tht is working well..but im facing some issues..

today i chked condition of speedometer ...so i did a test drive on highway... speedometer needle smothley reched to 40kmpl but after its passed 40km/h is stuck a while and jump 50-55 in few second....also 65-70...

i reached maximum 120kmh...during tht sessoin its stuck @3 points and refresh..

why is tht???

will it be repaired...

also this is passed more tht 200kms..m

my genuine mileage is 166kms..

is there a way to get back this to original mileage without replzing old one.....

will technical can do this thing....

does anyone knows any better technician can solve this problem??

bagUrE · July 8, 2014

Once I experienced an unusual behavour in speedometer reading due to the cable getting loose. Your problem might be something similar.

BTW, it is not a wise idea to test your speedometer on the highway while driving at 120kmh. It just takes a fraction of a second for things to go wrong...

Davy · July 8, 2014

Read this thread from the beginning, but I couldn't find what was the problem with your gauge cluster to begin with. Was it a problem with the tachometer (RPM)?

Since you have two gauge clusters, I suggest you use the working parts of both and combine them to create one fully working cluster. A good electrician would be able to switch the ODOmeter and the speed 'o meter mechanisms (and even the temp gauge if it has a problem) so that everything is working in the cluster you install.
