knocking or rumbling
My '03 Civic hybrid makes a knocking or rumbling sound when taking off from a standing stop. This noise/sound only lasts for a second. The noise seems to be coming from the right front wheel area. If excelerating lightly, the noise/rumble is slight. If excelerating harder, the noise/rumble is louder and more pronounced.
Any ideas?
Thanks....

Several years ago, My Son curbed the right front wheel, real bad. New rim, several new suspension and alignment parts.
Vehicle ran great after repairs. This is something that just developed within the past 6 months.....Someone mentioned CV joint????

Not a vibration per say. Makes the sound as if you were driving over a rumble strip, just a quick second as you start rolling from a stop.
The vehicle, which is an auto has 42K miles and is out of warranty.
Someone had mentioned that possisbly a CV joint was the problem.

Re: knocking or rumbling (MarkLBailey)
your car has a cvt trans which has a start clutch in it i have seen a lot of them go bad it only happens when leaving a light for about 1-3 sec and goes away like nothing ever happened until the next light, like a momentary judder below 15 mph from a stop covered 7 year 100,000 miles just call and ask a dealership if i am wrong sorry
