Hey Guys - Thanks for your help on this - I told you I'd let you know what it was. And Sure enough it was The Axle Nuts fault. It was loose, caused my bearing to go bad, which I guess had been going bad for a while before I even heard the noise because it stripped my axle where the axle nut is. What im guessing is it stripped because of the wobbling due to the bad bearing. So, long story short, had to replace the bearing & axle there. Only took about 4 1/2 hours not including the time the Honda Dealership pressed our new bearing.

Morals of the story:
A: Check those Axle Nuts!
B: Don't ignore even the slightest of sounds.
C: Drink Beer.

Thanks yellows2kguy!

I especially like part 'C' - Drink beer!

Hope your pocket book is not cleaned out from your experience.

Haha...... yes..... Part " C " is definitely important. Oh, also if anyone runs into this issue, I ended up buying a Torque Wrench that can actually get the job done. Just PM me if anyone needs to borrow it.
Rehile - It didnt clean out the pocket book entirely..... but.... give the price at the pump some time... I'm sure that will do it soon.
