What does a bad cv joint sound like
 

I have this weird noise coming from somewhere in front of my car, can't tell where, I'm sort of leaning towards the right side though. Anyways, it only occurs at a certain rpm (no tach) when accelerating fast it isn't there, and when driving not accelerating at all it isn't there either. Doesn't occur when the clutch is in, or when it is in nuetruel only when driving.

if any one has any clue what this sound may be please let me Know

P.S I bought that belt dressing stuff and sprayed it on the alternater belt and the noise is still there

Thanks again

does it make noes when u turn??

no, no noise when you turn

Could it possible be a heat sheild rattle?

*click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* when you go around turns. Get under there and see if you have a ripped boot. If you do, you might as well change the axles because dirt and other debris has already gotten in there. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

then you got bad axles https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emhammer.gif

its either that or the guy holding you up for your new axles has no bullets in his gun

maybe your other axle is messed up too
and you need to replace it

take the heat shield off and see what happends

check if your cv boot is torn...is there grease all inside your wheel?
a bad cv usually clicks

ok, Its definitly not the cv joint then, the sound is a sort of rattle, (sounds are so hard to describe)

It could be the heatshield near your cat. That thing rattled like a mofo on my last car.
