Recently, my car has been making a weird clunking noise. I believe it's coming from my front driver side area, possibly my axle. I can feel it on the floor board.

It happens most when im making a slight left turn or mostly when i'm in neutral. The noise gets faster the fast I go, and slower the slow I go. Any suggestions? I hit a few huge potholes recently, thankfully my wheels are ok, but maybe this has something to do with it. Or my axle has just **** the bed. There are no leaks btw.

 

have you ran over any animals or people lately?

 

Wheel bearing.

 

bearing or outside cv id say.

GrandMarkie! Where ya been? This is on the 95 Accord right?

Have you checked your balljoints lately?

 

I have the same problem, i hear this "clunk" once in a while and I can kinda feel it on my floor board also. my axles were shot and clicking and I had those replaced but theres still this "clunk," but only every once in a while. it happens when i'm slowing down to a stop or when I slowly put the car in to reverse to parallel park... doing things slow like that...

 

My dad had the same problem on his Granny Am after i....*coughs* hit a burb sideways . anyways he took it in and one of the wheel bearings was shot along with one of the control arms. He got those both fixed and the clunk is gone.

 

89_LXi, I know it's been a while! I miss the 3G baaaad. Yeah, this is on the 95, still a great car though.

Thanks guys, I'll have to check it out tomorrow. Do you think this contributes to the fact I hit a few big potholes, or is this a "gotta happen sometime" thing?

 

potholes prolly have something to do wit it

 

Yeah, it's likely your axle if it occurs when you go around a curve and it clicks or clunks... Your CV probably ripped, and you got a bunch of debris in the pinion gears...

 

i second the potholes. those and speedbumps are your car's worst nightmares

 

is it really bad to be running on shot wheel bearings/control arms? how much is this gonna cost me to fix?

 

Upper control arms are about ~$100 a piece on http://www.hondaautmotiveparts.com, front wheel bearings are ~$35. Install, well, a shop would probably charge you about 3 hours worth.

 

Well guys....I found the problem. Apparently someone tried to gank my wheels because all my lugnuts were barely on the wheel. I'm one lucky person....

 

Glad you found the problem, especially in time before your wheel comes off while you're driving.

 

*cough**cough*Ross*cough**cough*

=D

 

God damn it I was gonna say just check your lugs! Simple as that. I wanted to save the day damn it.
A certain Type R driver just had the same problem and almost lost a wheel...
