problem is speed determined, i think it has something to do with the torque moving the engine a little bit. OKay SO going at anything aboe 5-10 miles and i let go of the gas there is a loud CLUNKING, not clicking like a cv boot. Im going straight. step on the gas a little bit no more sound let go clunk clunk clunk, it sounds BAAAD. Step on the brakes no more sound. Any ideas??

 

Definatly replace your axles... sounds like they are on the verge of breaking apart on you.

 

check your bushings, ball joints, etc... basically your suspension parts... gotta go underneath the car for that...

 

bump for more feedback

 

another vote for axle. just because you are going straight doesn't mean its not the axle.

 

does it sound like its coming from a particular side? take it to midas and ask them to just throw it on a lift and check, thank them, the go buy a ltw one at autozone and fix it yourself:-)

 

i actually did just crawl under my car like 10 minz ago to inspect them, didn't notice anything in particular. Is there anything i should look for, put i was able to push both side into my tranny a little bit like maybe 1mm to 2mm max?

 

bump??

 

what to check for when checking the axle? I cant seem to find anything particularly wrong. Sounds like maybe its coming from the driver side.

 

took it out for a drive, im starting to think it might be something inside the gearbox. Is that possible? should i post this in another forum?

 

Get someone to drive the car in with the hood open and you hanging on inside the engine bay to listen to where the sound is coming from.

 

^^^ lol

this sounds like what happned to me tonight.. the loud clunking.. i agree with JDM_ej on your axles about to bust...

right when i heard this tonght i knew it was my axles.. before tonight every now and then they would do the "bad axle click" but, tonight it was more of a crack/bang/clunk..

check the axle boots for rips or grease leaking out, you will probobly find your problem there.
oh, and replace your axles

What you laughing at man?!!
That's what i did, i got my girl to drive the hatch in aquiet place with me in the bay, turns out it was my inner joints on my old D15 vtec - perfect excuse for me to swap the ITR motor. I told her my engine was knocking and i needed a new one ASAP. she was like ' oh my god, you'd better get one then, i don't want you breaking down in the middle of nowhere'.

 

HAHAHAH alright, should i replace both? auTOZONE? OR Honda OEM, friend works at honda so he gets me decent prices on honda stuff... how much life do you ppl think i have left in my axle.....

btw no grease from the boots or oil leaking from the tranny....

 

Dude, i would reconsider if you can't see grease anywhere underneath your car. It may not be your CV's. What car is it and how many miles are on the motor?

 

i bought it used, it has about 100,000 miles on it.

 

BUmp!

 

i once rode around with my friend hanging on my roof in a parking lot...

...yeah that was dumb


back on topic

i think it is the axle as well good luck with it

 

You bought a used axle with 100,000 miles on it/them? Don't do that again. Was it re-manufactured?
Just because there's no visible damage on the boot doesn't mean the axle isn't busted, one way to tell for sure is unbolt the LCA and pull on the whole hub assy., the CV shaft shouldn't extend more than an inch, if it does you should replace both axles.

 

No no i mean i bought the car used, and the car had about 100k on it. So same thing the axles have 100k on them. Time for new axles? If i replace, should i go with autozone stuff? or honda, or some of that ebay 24,000 mi warranty ****...??

 

bump. also more driving today and it sounds more like grinding now, i think the only reason that could be is cuz what ever was thumping(clunking) is wearing out.

 

Ok so im starting to think its my wheel bearing instead of axles. Anyone know how long before it just totally gives out?

Did you try this? There is a guy on here replacing his axles as we speak, https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1390323, think he got his for $60 bucks a piece, with lifetime warranty. I doubt its in your gearbox, because you would notice it not wanting to go into gear. Or once you do might try and come back out. Even a grind would be noticed. Get under your car and check for grease on the back of the hub. My axle is leaking, and there isnt a rip on the boot, somehow its on the hub.

 

Check your lugnuts. Simple stuff first.

 

it's probably your cv joints, but check out your motor mounts too. It could be your whole engine clunking around if there's a ton of play in your mounts.
