Rear passenger side wheel noise.
Alright, so I have a 1995 Honda Civic Ex Coupe.
I started having a clunking noise happen in the right rear (passenger side) when I would hit bumps in the road. So I replaced rear shocks and struts, rear shoes and wheel cylinders, new drums and also new wheel hub assembly hoping this would fix the problem...it didn't.
Now I have a constant grinding noise coming from the right rear. It starts out as a clicking at slow speed then at 60 it's just a rubbing sound. I'm at a loss guys. I thought maybe ball joint, tie rod, or trailing arm bushing? Any advice would help. It's my daily so I gotta figure this out. Thanks

Re: Rear passenger side wheel noise.
The trunk is empty. The noise I have is definitely a rubbing/grinding noise. So if an exhaust mount broke then it could be rubbing I'll know in the next hour if it's that or not.

Re: Rear passenger side wheel noise.
Jack up the car and turn the wheel by hand. If you hear noise it is a bad bearing or the brake is dragging. To differentiate that, take the wheel off and remove the brake caliper and spin again. Also check if the backing disk is bent and dragging on the rotor. If there is any top to bottom or side to side wobble in the bearing, replace it.
Clunking noises going over bumps are a different thing than grinding whenever the car rolls. Clunks are often because a bushing is bad, so the suspension parts hit metal on metal instead of being constrained by the rubber bushings.
