Clicking Noise in rear
I have noticed over the past few days a click in my rear of my S. It happens when I back up then pull forward. As I pull forward, I hear one click. Sounds like my passenger side rear tire area. I tried to duplicate the sound but could not when I got home. This is the 3rd time this week I have heard it. I checked my lugs and they are fine. I just had an alignment done a week ago. I would appreciate any help you folks could offer.
Thanks
Ray

I can't help, but I have the same thing going on. Pulling away from a stop, or even sometimes going from deceleration to acceleration - I get the click, seemingly coming from the passenger rear wheel. It's been with me for a few months, and it could be my imagination, but it seems to be getting louder. Dealer had the car this week and "couldn't hear it". I jacked the rear end up and took off the wheels looking for loose bits, but nothing. Rotating the elevated wheel back and forth generated a clunk in the differential, but I imagine this is normal.
I have to believe if there are two of us with this, we are not alone. C'mon guys, fess up.

You guys have been on here for over 3 years and 4 years respectively and you haven't seen all the threads about this? 
You most likely have the loose rear hub nut syndrome. There is a Honda TSB on this. Honda upped the torque specs on this from 180 to 220. They take the nut off, grease the threads and put it back on to the new torque. Most of the time, this fixes it, but if the situation has gotten too severe, the click will come back and you may have to replace the rear bearing(s).

Yeah, I've seen them now. My mistake to write before reading. I have other vehicles that I need to work on, but the Honda just RUNS. Don't need to do much research on it.
Anyway, I know what I need to do now. Thanks.

1- Remove 36 milimeters big nut
2- Apply multi porpouse grease
3- Screw the nut and apply 220 lb ft of torque
The sound gone off
Excuse my broken english
