Inner axle poping?
Recently a weird noise has been coming from my civic. When I take off from a stop or apply the brakes I hear a pop from the engine bay. I found out that if I am stopped with the e-brake on and rock the car back and forth(1st then reverse) it makes the same noise. It doesnt make the noise wheb I turn to full lock and when I am already moving. I took a look at it today and all the motor mounts are good(HAsport b-series). Also non the the suspension compenents are loose. Does this sound like the inner axles are bad. BTW they are 2-3 year old Raxles.
Also does this look bad?

I havent changed my trans fluid since spring. It does have a litlle third gear grind.

Re: Inner axle poping? (.coolguy)
I've had bad inner joints before but have never heard them pop, it's more of a vibration but only under load when accelerating (not when decelerating).
What you're describing sounds like a problem I had on one of my EF's after replacing the pass side axle. I didn't tighten the 2 17mm bolts that connect the radius arm rod to the LCA quite tight enough and after a few hundred miles they backed out enough to make some play and start clunking. Even if all your suspension stuff looks / feels tight, throw a ratchet on there and make sure.

Re: Inner axle poping? (b16a1eg6)
Ok I checked the radius rod bolts and they were tight. But I got to looking at the back of the engine and it turns out the rear tranny bracket only had two bolt in it and one was loose. So I put an other bolt in it and torqued it down. No more popping sound
