Well, my knocking sound from the rear end has been found.. The sound has gotten progressively worse in the last year. It turns out to be, the rear swaybar stabilizer links.The arm that holds the swaybar onto the rear spindles(knuckles) are shot. So every little bump in the road it bangs against itself, makeing a knocking sound. Both of them need to be replaced at 42 bux apeice. So If anyone that has a knocking noise comeing from the rear wheelwell area, I would check the links on the swaybar. You shouldnt beable to move them up and down.

 

hey... $42 a peice... Most rear 25mm strutbars run like that... $240 each? Give or take. That's $324. Damn so the neuspeed would still be $100 over that lol.

Might as well spurge!

 

hey cottonwoods... what year prelude you got? and how can you check if its shot or not cause I got that sound too

 

Nice find

Hopfully now I won't have to pull the rear suspension yet again.

 

Have you guys already tried that replacement collar for the rear shocks? Its a honda TSB bulletin.

All you have to do to check it is, grab the rear swaybar were it connects to the spindle, push and pull up and down, and see if it moves and makes a knocking sound.

I had the same problem. Lucky for me the rattle was in the rubber bushings and not the knuckles. So the cost was $5.

Great find man, I've been having that same sound for about a year or so now. I was just about make the move onto the new struts.

 

I did the struts and the noise was still there. So I did alittle searching to find that post. Its alot cheaper if this is problem.

 

Shock knock cure

i have some noise too but not knock. I've been looking for it, it sounds like a squicky noise like a door hinge noise. when I hit a bump, I ca hear it but not too loud. what could that be? any idea?

 

Thanks

Gonna check 2 see if this is the same problem I have tomorrow.
