Bad caliper or bad wheel bearing/hub?

Asked by Shawn Mar 08, 2018 at 05:20 PM about the 2001 Acura RL 3.5 FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

As I take off first thing in the morning I hear
nothing but after a few stop the rear wheel is
humming and whining. It does it for few seconds
then goes away. Now at every stop it does it. It's
the same way on the way home. If I steer the left it
comes back and if I steer to the right it goes away.
Any ideas on how to tell what it may be... Caliper or
bearing... How do I check.

bearing is bad if caliper is bad you should be able to tell by putting your hand on the rim and feel the heat that is generated by a seized caliper
