strange "clicking" noise from driver rear wheel
When I turn right I get a clicking noise from the drivers rear tire. Sometmes, i get the click going strait. checked the lugs they are fine. Took the car to a dealership, they inspected the suspension, and brakes, found nothing wrong. Told me to call them back as the were going to call Honda, I'm at a loss.
but the clicking remains. sounds like a card in the spokes. Car has 7,450 miles on it.
Any ideas?!

Ihad the clicking, but it was only once everytime I started to move. Regreased the splines and tightened the axle nut.
There is a TSB for the nut...Helms says 181 ft/lbs, but the bulletin suggests 220 ft/lbs.

Re-greasing and tightening the spindle nut does stop the symptom, but it does nothing to correct the underlying problem.
This issue is that your wheel bearing is going bad.
Tightening the spindle nut clamps down on the bearing which holds things together for a while more, but it'll still fail eventually. In fact, it's quite possible that the bearing has already scored the wheel hub. (I had to replace both.) In my case, simply tightening the spindle nut fatigued the wheel hub and eventually caused it to break.

Yeah, I don't agree with Elistan's assessment, either. It may have been an issue in his particular case, but for several of us the nut had just backed out.
