Default Single Knock

Could you help diagnose please ... one knock every revolution of the wheels coming from the rear and sounds like on the axle ...

Do you know what it is likely to be
Is it dangerous
Is it expensive

Thanks for your help

Check your hub nuts first.

£4 for a replacement from Honda.

Easy job.

You just need access to a decent sized torque wrench to "nip" them up.

You need a LOT of torque on those hub nuts Paul, something like 200 lb/ft IIRC
