Thumping noise from 99 prelude
I have a 99 prelude and I here a thumping noise when I accelerate.. Mostly when I go uphill.. It comes and goes so sometimes it thumps and sometimes it doesn't. I got the front tires balanced but I don't think it's them because my steering wheel doesn't shake.. The rear tires were balanced about 3000 miles ago.. Maybe a weight might of fallen off the rears.. Also you can feel the thumping through my gas pedal slightly. I'm running 4 s2000 fronts on the car.. Tires have like 80% on rear and 50% on front.. Lowered on skunk2 slip ons running stock shocks..the thumping is faster as I speed up no matter the rpm.. It usually happens between 2500-4000 rpm but goes away after that... Running a stock h23 vtec blue top.. Does not shake at idle... Thanks in advance!

Re: Thumping noise from 99 prelude
tried changing out the rear tires cuz i couldn't really identify where is was coming from all tires are balanced and it's still doing it but sounds like it's from the front passenger.. I tried shaking my motor but no budge although I don't know how you check a mount...
