Default :: Why is my suspension clicking/rattling?

So I thought it was only the front axles that were clicking, but I checked the CV boots and they're not ripped at all. Now I think I hear clicking or rattling coming from the rear so I think it could be something wrong with my suspension setup all around. It occasionally clicks/rattles when I'm driving straight? (The suspension came with the car)

I have no idea what to check. I've never worked on suspension before.. Nothing seems obviously loose or broken..

The car is a 95 GSR w/ 5-Way Illumina's and Skunk2 Springs. I'll try to get some pictures up soon.

Just because the boots aren't split doesn't mean the CV joints aren't bad. It is pretty easy to tell which end of the car a noise is coming from if it is severe enough; bad CV joints can often be felt through the steering gear. Have a Honda/Acura service professional test drive the car and advise you on what the problem may be.

My rear suspension is noisy too. H&R Sport and AGX. I have H&R sport and Yellows in front and its alot quieter. So possibly the dampers. But a firmer ride also transmits more energy to the chassis so its hard to tell.
