My rear wheel wobbles slightly when driving. I have jacked the car up and the wheel is on tight and secure. I was told this may be caused by worn bearings on the rear axle.

Can anyone help me diagnose the problem and what I need to do to fix it?

Thanks

 

Well for one thing, there is no rear axle.

However bearings are a possibilty. Raise the car off the ground and spin the wheel and see if you can see it wobble. Then take the wheel off and spin the hub and see if you can pinpoint which part is causing the wobbling.

Alright thanks alot, what is there instead of an axle? excuse my ignorance.

 

Honda rear suspensions consists of a trailing arm, which holds the hub, a lower control arm and upper link (kind of a psuedo-upper control arm, but not really) at the rear of the trailing arm, and a toe control link at the front of the trailing arm.

Rear axles are only used on RWD cars, or on FWD cars that have a solid beam axle in the back. Hondas made after 1988 have independent rear suspension, so no axles.
