Default Issue Suspension front em1 00

Hello All

I have a em1 Civic 00 SI, stock all front suspension

I have a problem, a sound like - clack - clack - clack

example: when the car run slow 20km/h over a union of clock on the street, (like that http://www.midcontinental.com/images...0-%20final.jpg) this sound.

the sound is independent of left and right wheel.

I replaced the out / inner tie rod, ball joints, upper /lower controls arms, anti-sway bars, end links

but the important: all sound noise happen when the street are dry, but when wet or raining all noise sounds disappear.

thanks and I will estimate all your help.

thanks and sorry for my english.

Pop your hood and push down on the fender... Watch the tip of your struts and see if they move too much... I had noises coming from my strut

Check whether the metal wheel guard is bent and rubbing on the brake rotor.

Just pop your hood and push up and down on the fenders and see if it makes the noise, if it is what im talking about, you will be able to see where it is coming from...
