i've been practising a lot of heel toe and lately i've noticed that when i drive the car it makes a tapping noise. If you put 3/4 thottle on it or let the car just roll it seems fine but if you give it half throttle you feel and hear the tapping noise. let see some suggestions or comments...its a 95 civic coupe.

 

axles maybe?

 

Check your CV Boots. They might be ripped/torn.

 

jack the car up and start looking.check the ball joints and tie rod end for play.make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.check the wheel bearing for play.check the CV boot for tears.if everything visibly checks out,my guess would be the axle.

lolz..funny you guys all said cv boots..they were the first things i checked...umm...i'll check the other stuff..

 

could someone point out the ball joints for me?? and how would you check the wheel bearings?? and how would it be the axles?? they look fine to me..if somethings wrong would they be bent?

 

the balljoints are corcled in red.the steering tie rod connects at the blue circle.


you can check the wheel bearings by jacking the car up and grabbing the wheel,trying to move it around to see if there is excessive play.this goes hand in hand with checking the balljoints so you can tell where the play is coming from.

the joints in the axles can be bad while the boots are still intact.it's very rare to see the axle shaft bent.
