Whats going on Members ??.... I have a question to ask and I am very confused and frustrated, here is my problem....In 3rd and 4th gear past 2500 RPM - about 4000 RPM, anything past 4000 RPM the noise stops, I get this clicking noise it sounds like metal on metal hitting, (think of the sound of like a piston hitting the cylinder walls type of noise), it will stop when I move the steering wheel, I jacked up the car on the front LCA's to check the wheel bearing and my wheel is nice and tight, so im thinking it may not be a wheel bearing, but I may be wrong, I had replaced my lower ball joints (Driver and Passanger side) and the driver side outer tie rod end, hoping this would fix the clicking noise, but it did not, my boot on the upper ball joint is torn, but IDK if that could causing a clicking noise sound, I replaced Both DS and PS Axels about 5,000 miles ago, and the boots are fine and not torn, when i got the car I had KYB GR2 struts with an Eibach Pro Kit, and it didn't make the noise with that suspension setup in the car, it started when I switched to the suspension I have now, which is Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustable's and Neuspeed Race springs (out of a 92-95 Civic, Since the suspension is the same) I am very confused and don't know what to do, any info would be very helpful and appreciated

Thank you

I did a clutch replacment in December of 2007... the noise started as soon as a swaped out suspension from the eibach pro kit with the KYB struts to the Tokikio Struts and Neuspeed springs

 

do you have wheel gap, you know that the wheel isnt rubbing? i know its stupid, but possible

there is a little wheel gap... i checked out the tires and they are not rubbing

 

It might be your axles. I replaced my DS axle with a new remanufactured one and it started doing the same thing your experienceing. So I went back to where I got the axle from and exchanged it. Sometimes those reman axles aren't rebuilt correct.

I never did think of that.... I think im going to start by replacing my driver side upper control arm and go from there !!!

 

It cant be the axle could it? why would it only be doing it in 3rd and 4th if it was the axle it would be doing it constantly when the gas isnt applied and the car is rolling.. idk more people need to chime in
