THANK YOU for sharing this! I've had the tick for a while... maybe 6-7k miles now... lately I've noticed it's rough under accelleration.... This is definitely good news.... Now I just wish my other car was running so I had transportation... did they offer you a loaner?

Well I still have the vibration. Its not gotten much worse but its getting colder out and I am not doing my big long hard runs now. So it looks like its the bearings/half shaft.
This SHOULD be covered under your warrantee!!!! Though for me finding a COMPETENT DEALERSHIP is going to be one hell of a project!

Yep, now I finally realize why the car has taken so much flack for being a HONDA... on my accord and prelude I never had to have any warranty work done, now that I do I'm regretting buying a honda... it's just not the same service as Lexus, BMW, or even Infiniti... price ya pay for a car you really love I suppose...

Let me throw you a curve. I have the same ticking/clicking noise, had all the same shit done as you but it's still there. Ever changed the brake pads? Jamb a thick piece of paper (like part of a business card) between the caliper and the pads and see if the problem goes away. You can't leave it in there but for the purpose of diagnostics. The clicking from mine is the pads shifting around inside and caliper and within the retainer clips (I'm almost 100% sure anyway). The clicking only happens after the brakes are released. If I'm wrong, sue me, but that just might be the problem.

Yah, on mine, you can be rolling slowly, then blip the gas and the momentum will make the click, it also vibrates under accelleration at 60-100mph, but as soon as you let off the gas, it's smooth again... I've also noticed the vibration when turning right, I'm thinking wheel bearing or CV is to blame for my case.
