When doing a regular tire rotation I noticed that both rear wheels would make a slight clicking sound when I turn them backwards by hand. No such sound is present when turning forward. The wheels rotate more or less freely in both, making 2-3 full turns before stopping after giving them a good push with a hand (parking brake is off, obviously). I also took off wheels and drum covers to uncover hubs and rotated only the hubs. Slight clicking was still present, so it is definitely coming from the bearings/hubs. My question is whether this is actually normal or a sign of an impending failure? This 2019 Fit is still under warranty, although not for long. Should I try to go to the dealership with the only symptom being this clicking sound? They probably will want money for "diagnostic", which isn't going to reveal anything except for the sound, and tell me that everything is fine... Any advice is welcome.

 

So the clicking is in reverse and never in the forward direction, and the rear wheels only.

When backing up slowly, do you feel anything that would correlate to the clicking? Or with windows open, hear any clicking in reverse?

If not, I'll dismiss it as a noise that you wouldn't have found independently unless you happened to be doing a tire rotation, and not sweat it.

 

I think you've already answered your question.
