I have a 98 civic with an h22a w/ hasport mounts. I've had this problem for a long time and still cant figure it out. the car has been sitting since last may when i blew my clutch out. I have the correct axles and the car is at stock height on the springs. When driving it will only knock when i turn right or when it hits a dip in the road. It will drive fine in lower speeds or under low throttle but if i hit the throttle it knocks loudly. I need this fixed asap as im going to college TOMORROW and need it fixed as quickly as it can be.

Sounds like you have the wrong axles.

i've switched out the axles multiple times and has done the same thing every time. could it be the intermediate shaft or any of the bearings?

Checked the cv joints?

crxrider

sounds like the axle isnt locked into place in the tranny. pull the axle nut and smack it with a dead blow. if that isnt it your seal where the axle goes in the transmission could be bad and giving the axle room to move.

cv joints are fine. and do you mean smack the outside snout of the axle or something else? and wat seal are you talking about? pics could help alot

Broken CV joint is what it sounds like to me. They don't have to be spewing grease to be busted.

QuiksilverH22

the axle on that side is literally brand new. i've switched axles 3 times already

snake_eyes

it might parts of the suspension like worn lower ball joint or worn bushings... check your suspension

D50boy

Oh. Well hell. Have you looked at your ball joints and tie-rod ends?

QuiksilverH22

no not yet. i also heard it could be that my upper control arm could be loose? could that be it?

QuiksilverH22

It's fixed. Turns out that the Axles i got from advance were different than oem prelude ones and the inside knuckle was different

**** advanced auto

Yeah, same exact same with my CV joint. It was slightly off and had some grease. Whenever I turned and hit a bump it would make this loud metal clunk sound like OP described. But it's so hard to diagnose problems online because there's so many things to look at.
