well ive noticed that i hear this strange clunk noise coming from under the car mostly when im at very low speeds and i start braking...i can almost feel the thud under my feet when i press the brakes but i sometimes hear also it when i make a turn but not often..mostly when im braking at very low speeds, its gettin a lil louder so its starting to concern me....my brakes are warped and i know they need to be replaced but is there anything else that can cause this besides the brakes?balljoints maybe?....thanx

Balljoint, tierod, but I would mostly say a wheel bearing. It would humm at lower speeds and somtimes creak, and at higher speeds it would be almost non existant

i got the same problem
i got all new ball joints, gsr brake swap, added a sway bar, skunk2 camber kit, new tie rods. new axles.
i assume its something loose ima check it out tomorrow afternoon and see whats up.

i just recently replaced the tie rods and the ball joints seem fine butthe way you described the wheel bearing seems like what my car seems to be doing...thanx more suggestions are welcomed

well.... im another one.... theres 2 things it could be that i found on my car, since my upper/lower ball joints, wheel bearings, and tie rods are new....

check on the screw in the rotors... are they still there? and also, the brake pad retainers (anti rattle clips) are usually the problems

hope this helps

hmm, my makes a clunk but under different situations...

if i'm driving slow and i step on the gas, i will hear a clunk, and then when i slow back down i hear another clunk... basically whenever the car shifts from going forward and backwards... it just started making the clunk sound about two weeks ago, it wasnt always there before... it doesnt make any sound on turns or anything

i was thinking it had something to do with the drivetrain? not sure

slambedcivic

check your motor mounts as well ^^^^^^^^

if its not an older car and has never been wrecked than check ur cv joints....

Free Red D Dragon!@!

Ya i would check the axles first.. then i would jack up the car.. and try and move the wheel if the wheels moves back and forth then yoru ball joints are shot.. i saw a guy with some reaaaaly bad ball joints.. have some problems breaking and almost crash..

JUST TODAY i started drving my civic. and it happened. my brakes need bled, then all of a sudden the pedal felt like it didnt need anything. then i pressed it hard and CLUNK! now its goes clunk everythignt the wheel spins i thought i got a flat. its louder when i put around. its really bugging me. my car is slowing seeming to fall apart

Check CV joints and Hub Bearings...
cost a bit of $$$ to get fixed
Also check your intake piping make sure everything is tight.

Nice sedan! I got one too...
