Hi everyone!!
I just installed some Koni yellows into my 1993 Civic ferio with D16Z6 engine ("EH9" called here)...I didn't put those "rings" where the brake-lines are hold with, into it, so it slid a bit more into these "forks"...it is really low now....but now, when I accelerate I have a strange noise, like when you hold something into a bycicle wheel (like everyone did when they were younger)...it's only from the left side I think...and it only appears when I accelerate a bit more than "normal", so, when driving slow, no noise appears..but when stepping onto the gas pedal a bit more, it appears..

Any help is appreciated..

Thanks!!


EDIT: I just noticed, that the noise ALSO appears, when not driving...so, when I stand, and press a bit on the gas, it also appears..so it must be something like the clutch or the gearbox?!?! I know that my clutch isn't the best anymore...could it be, that it is near to death?? Or wouldn't a defective cltuch cause such noises??

Help me please!! A friend who works as a mechanic at Honda even didn't know what it is...

Check your rear tires for rubbing.

 

Well, the rear is the same height as before, and there is plenty of space left to anything, I checked that allready...do you think it could be one of the wheels causing that noise?? It must me something rotating touching anything fix...but I dunno how to find out which part it is...or could it be, that my axle is broken??

 

a few things one check your splash guards in fornt mine came loose and would rub the tire as i accelerated. i also had my rotor guard hitting my rim and that made the same kind of sound as it would vibrate against the tire.

 

OK, thank you very much, I will check these two things...it MAY be the rotor guard, because I hit it a bit with some tools when working...
Thanks so far for your help...

 

So, I edited the first post, please help me guys, I don't know where to search any more...
