Default Knocking Noise Rear N/S Wheel (and nope not been *spam* in it)

Dear all

Not that I post much on this here side, so shall try to keeps me language suitably chaste and normal so as not to confuse da, sorry the non-muppets, but see I need some help!!

ok right then I have a knocking sound coming from my rear n/s wheel when I set off, stop, reverse, turn round. This happens when cold AND when warm so it can't be the handbrake which I know can make a noise too when cold. It has only just started about a week ago and I assure you that no sparkly rear ass action has happened in that time to cause such nasty noises!!

Car has 28k on clock, is MY02 and is the YP so therefore unique and sparkly

Please help

thanks in advance

If it happens when braking it could possibly be a warped brake disk, this happened to mine shortly after it had been returned to roadworthiness.

Probably the wheel bearing. Jack it up and see if there is any play in the wheel...

Your knockers have obviously broken free from their mountings.

Call into a Honda dealer, and ask them if they could securely mount your knockers.

but surely the wheel bearing shouldnt go on a a relatively new car!! would that be covered under the Warranty or would that be classed as normal wear and tear??

(and thanks Scott)
