I've heard thumping from axles before. If your axle boot is torn and the insides are starting to fail. Could be the tie rods though. The ball joints could have excessive play.

sir axles boot are fine and no sound is coming from them on full turns. the sound comes sometimes when i hit a pothole or when i suddenly turn my steering on right i have already changed shock absorber ,both inner and outer tierods and upper control arm with upper tie rod. sir can a lower ball joint cause this problem ?

dseries123

could it be a lower control arm fault?

Do you have lowering springs installed?

I have this problem before when the rubber seat between the spring and shock went missing. Every time I turn the wheel to the right there's a loud clunk.

Could be worn lower control arm bushings.

I have worn bushings at the moment and when i turn into my school parking lot i hear a loud thump too.

I realize its my bushings im just waiting to get some cash to press in new energy suspension bushings.

dseries123

no sir the car is on stock shocks and no lowering springs are installed

Lower ball joint or strut mount...given your statement, thats about the only thing left.

dseries123

bro i think that the culprit might be these bushings due to the symptoms you have mentioned and also i have changed almost everything on the right front side due to this sound only things left were these LCA bushing and lower ball joint. i have checked lower balljoint and it seems no play in it . so i think its time to save some money for this job lol

dseries123

bro i have checked lower ball joint and there is no play in it and strut mount is new. i am having my guess on LCA

ej1995

Well, swap them out. If its an LCA, you should be able to see that it is worn/damaged though.

dseries123

yes bro i will swap them in few days . hope the problem is finished then

Could be your wheel hub/bearings. My wife's, non Honda, car did that since the day we bought it and I couldn't figure it out. Years later when the hubs failed inspection and I replaced them the clunking went away.

dseries123

may be that can be a problem . however there is no whining or humming sound even at high speeds . can you tell me what are the methods to check a wheel bearing ?

Never had any of that either. You can jack up the right wheel and just grab the wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock positions and see if there is any play without the knuckle moving then do the same holding at 12 and 6.

I had the same condition on my DX EK. I was getting a serious squeaking when the wheel was turned at low speeds/at a stop. I just replaced my knuckles with EXs for the larger brakes and the problem went away.

dseries123

ok sir i will check it

update: the culprits were the sway bar bushings .replaced them and no more noise
