What happened???

I was replacing a brake hose (front driver), finished, put the wheel back on, and made sure all lugs were tight. I just drove to work this morning there was a steady bump coming from the front driver wheel area that shook the steering wheel. It was a hard bump. When I applied the brake it would dwindle down and seem like it stopped. I didn't touch the rotor, caliper, any of that. Just the hose. I'm trying to figure out what the hell it is. Thanks in advance for the help.

yeah sounds like u don't have the wheel on flush.. pull all the lugs and make sure the wheel is seated FLUSH on the hub..

lol thanks guys, that's what I figured. One of the Acura Tech's at my work suggested the same thing or alignment. I said I know what a bad alignment feels like and that ain't it haha! THanks!!

UPDATE....

Took the wheel off, made sure it was flush, and correctly put the wheel back on but no change. I'm thinking this could be something worse... Axle or bearing? It is a loud bump, but not a pop like a bad axle sounds like. Gets worse at some degrees of the steering wheel... As in if I'm going 45mph and I turn just a tad to the right, it gets a little worse.

was it doing it before u replaced the brake line? maybe you had a weight/wheel balancer and u knocked it off?

I have the GSR Fat 5's. They are like immaculate I can't imagine them having a crack or being bent. The noise only happens when there is a load on the wheel. When I had it in the air spinning, nothing happened. But coasting at 50mph it has a steady bump to it. I am leaning towards a bearing or the cv shaft but it just doesn't seem right... It happened out of nowhere. I changed the brake hose, drove it this morning and bam it was bumpin!
