Ok so i have a 95 prelude si. I have had it for almost a year and when i go over bumbs and things in the road it sounds as if i have ***** rolling around in my trunk or something. It was like that since i have purchased it. I do not think anything is seriously wrong. I am pretty sure it is something with the suspension. Is that just how all preludes are? Thanks for any and all input.

 

Haha, no Preludes are definitely not just like that. Where on the car does it sound like it's coming from? What do you mean by ***** rolling around in the trunk?

 

Check your trunk for any circular objects that might be moving ... lol, JK. ......Check tie-rod ends, check stabilizer bars, check bushings.

 

$100 bucks says its the rear swaybar endlinks.......

 

It sounds like some ***** or something are bouncing around in the trunk. Thats what i first thought so i went and checked but nothing was in there.

"Check tie-rod ends, check stabilizer bars, check bushings. " "$100 bucks says its the rear swaybar endlinks....... "

I will check all of those later today if i have time.

 

is your prelude abs by any chance???

 

Yes - if nothing looks amiss, I would check into Remiss' suggestion. The ABS sounds quite like that. If you have a bad or loose sensor, it may cause the ABS to think the wheel is skidding.

You can try pulling the big *** ABS breaker in the fuse box. You will get a hate light, but after you are done, put the fuse back in and disconnect the battery for 60 seconds or so and it will all reset.

 

i replaced my struts and the bushings on my rear swaybar endlinks are kinda f'ed, I put on some GR2's and the front is nice but the back sounds like this guy is talking about.. my g/f says it sounds like we are on a wooden roller coaster going up the big hill! Its fine when their are no bumps, are the swaybar endlinks cheap? i looked at my local parts stores website and couldn't find em. thx

 

i had this problem i looked in my trunk i had a few bolts rolling around in there lol DEAD ***!

 

mine sounds like i keep my trunk packed with ice cubes.

 

thats deffinitley your rear sway bar end links than ^

 

is it like a wave runner when shifting? lol look at the bushings.

 

i get more of a popping noise than anything... what about you? Where do you suggest looking to replace them?

 

no I do not have abs. Still not have had time to check. I will post when I find the culprit.

 

yup i agree with the 2 other people who said it, rear sway links. grab a hold of the sway bar right where it connects and pull on it. you'll beable to feel play in the links.

 

Man I am stumped. I grabbed, pushed, pulled. I cannot find anything. I even opened the trunk. Stood on it and jumped up and down and nothing happened.

 

if the links arent loose id guess sway bar bushings. no way to check them really, you can look at them and see if they are oblonged but they can still make noise even if they dont look bad.
