Honda 06 Rear Rumble noise

[Mike]

Hello,

really need your help.

Just changed both rear upper arms last night and I still hear the sound of my rear left tire rumbling when reaching 50mph and higher.
I thought it was the upper arms but I was wrong. What in the world is the problem?

Picture of old and new side by side.

Regards,
Mike

Rumbling when it’s on a smooth road? The wheel bearing, oftenly.

Is it maybe the trailing arm?
Took a look at my wheel and the inside has wear.

Here is a photo. Want to make sure what is the really cause before spending tons of cash.

Since you have the tire wear it could be poor alignment, bushings, issue with rear suspension. Look around carefully for leaks. Also is it both tires or one?

Thanks for the video Kasra_CA. I was under the car all morning banging like crazy and nothing.

What I did find was that grg88 was correct that wheel bearing is done. That I’m sure.

Now a banging sound that I had before has increased in sound big time after diagnosing the wheel bearing.

Only happens when going over bumps. Could it be the shocks themselves?

Thumps and bangs are usually the rubber bushings. Struts tend to creak, although anything is possible. Eyeball all the rubber bushings at each pivot point.

An update to this.

There were three issues that I found.
One the rear wheel wear were caused from rear upper arms. Around the rubber was that famous orange dust that Eric mentions in a few videos. Upper arms where easy to replace.

The rumbling sound where in fact the rear wheel bearings actually both of them. Those were easy to replace.

What I though where the rear dampers clucking in the rear was in fact both stabilizer links. Now those babies let me tell you not easy to replace. Thank GOD for my impact gun.

All parts where original OEM from the factory and I’m the original owner still.
Replaced mileage 128000 (206000 km)

All noises are finally gone. banana:

Hope, this helps for anyone else.
