I get a clunk/thud when I go over bumpers.

I get a fast constant clunking (cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck) from Rear Right wheel when I make a medium+ right turn. Turning left is okay.

I replaced rear shocks (with new GR-2 this time) yesterday on stock springs.

Do you think my ball joint is going or sway bar end links?

 

Does it make the noise when you apply the brakes? Mine has been doing it ever since i had my suspension put on and I never took the time to get it resolved. When I drive over a bump, something in the back goes "clank-ka-clank"... and sometimes in the morning i'll just be driving down a road with a slight curve to it and it will make the noise until the road straightens out. But if i ride the brakes, its completely silent. I'm guessing a loose brake pad or something but i dunno.

 

Mine actually does that as well just when I'm going over some bumps, sounds like a tool moving about in the boot (it isn't) but I heard it was some suspension bushings or something... would love to get it sorted out.... Maybe someone on ebay sells cheap Prelude bushings?

 

it sounds like Honda TSB 00-090, Rear Suspension Clunks. The usual cause is worn spacers in teh rear damper assmblkes have compressed, and need to be replaced. The part is the metal tube spacer that goes in the middle of the bushings.

 

Hm, it doesn't sound serious.. is it? Where can we get the parts and how much?

 

yeah i remember reading about that TSB. If I had that problem on my car I would fix it. But thats just me.

 

No. It's not shock knock. I fixed that already. It does it going down a smooth road while turning, and rattles over bumps. That is the OP's question. Shad0wcat has shock knock.

 

K I was diagnosed with rear sway bar link and front lower ball joint is going too.

Expensive/hard fix?

 

Don't want to jack the thread but are people sure it is shock knock on my 4th gen?
