Problem overview

Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing clunking and knocking noises from the rear right wheel, particularly when braking, which may indicate a faulty wheel bearing hub. These owners note that defective wheel bearings can produce such noises, especially during turning or cornering. Additionally, they highlight that similar sounds could stem from issues within the suspension or steering system, making it crucial to evaluate the wheel bearing as a possible cause. Some owners have also observed that a bad wheel bearing can place stress on other components, leading to potential failures and uneven tire wear, particularly on the inside. The cost of replacing the wheel bearing typically ranges from $245 to $350, and the process requires specific tools and mechanical knowledge. It is recommended for those experiencing these symptoms to have their rear right wheel bearing hub inspected and replaced to maintain the vehicle's safety and performance.
