Hi guys,
So my dealership here in Canada agreed to replace the part under warranty. They are also adding an alignment cost because the car would need alignment once this part is replaced and they want me to pay out of pocket for this.
Did any of you experience the same when you guys got this part replaced?

I have attached a screenshot of the email from the service advisor after I told her to email me the quote so that I can take it up with Honda.

I got a mouth breather at the dealership threating to call the police and have me arrested.... so, no. haha.

If alignment is required for the service it seems like that should be included. That's like having a comprehensive maintenance plan and having to pay for the filter during oil changes. If you must pay for alignment, have it done elsewhere. If the dealership says it has to be done at the time of service, well then they should include is in the cost they are eating.

Dealership went ahead and replaced mine. They went out of their way to say that grease seepage is normal because this bearing doesn't have a boot covering it and it spins around with the axle which flings the grease out...
Any update here? Is the new one leaking?

Iā€™m seeing the same thing on my daughterā€™s ā€˜19 Civic EX Coupe with the 1.5L turbo. I purchased the extended warranty so Iā€™m wondering if itā€™s covered.

It should be covered under the powertrain warranty.
