Wierd "Knocking" from front suspension
Ok, whenever I accelerate from a stop at a low rate of speed, or decelerate from a stop at a medimum -> high rate of speed, I get an wierd knocking noise, usually 1-4 times, from both front corners. I also sometimes get it when not creeping over speedbumps/railroad tracks/etc. My car is not slammed, nor do I have a front lower tie bar, so nothing is hitting the road. It's not my lower ball joints, or my upper A-arm ball joints ....
Help?
PS - 97 Civic CX, B18B1 swap, Tokico Illuminas, H&R Sport Springs, Stock Mounts.

Well, that could explain it. I know one of my LCA's is fucked, and I have a replacement for it. I'll have to check the other one once I get my garage and can install the replacement.

mine is doing that....this is what i have found to fix the problems.....both of my axles had a rip in the boot, and my wheel lugs werent on tight enough.
Sure you may think the axles only make noise when turning, i found that to be a lie, cause the problem went away once i change em......

The thing is, this has been going on for a while, it's just progressively gotten worse. I even changed my axles about 40K ago, and it still made the same noise.

Re: (Eran)
Check your LCA bushings..the one that bolts to the underbody of mine is almost completely gone, and its causing a weird vibration, sound, and my axles to bind up.
