Ok guys i just bought a 90 civic hatch, and im having a weird clunking in the rear and getting alot of vibration in the steering wheel. The clunking is worse sometimes than other times, and sometimes when I hit the brakes it gets louder and i can feel it in the pedal.

Any helpful ideas?

 

bad rotors, tie rods?

 

warped rotors or drum maybe ~ might just adjust the one making the noise ((:

can happen when locking up the brakes for a moment and what not.

taking the wheel off and the drum then spinning it would be your best bet
then probably replacing a drum~cheap

 

Loose lug nut/s? How long have you driven the car like this?

 

I appreciate the help so far guys!
Killbot I have driven it just a couple hundred miles, I just got the car a couple weeks ago.
Butter thanks I will try that later if the weather gets a little nicer.

 

The clunk in the rear could be broken rear trailing arm bushings.

 

Thanks for the help guys! Ended up being a bad wheel bearing on the rear driver side, quick and simple replacement and that was solved. Car still has alot of other issues but I think im setting a good pace so far. Replaced bad tires, bad front axles and bad wheel bearing all in the first couple weeks of ownership.
Now if I can get this throwout bearing replaced and replace all the bushings on the car it might actually not be too bad to drive!

 

good start on getting you new project started out right

 

Yeah I figured why throw more power to it until im 100% positive the chassis and suspension is ready for it.

 

wrong. waist all your money on a paint job and some new wheels. then worry about weather it will drive or not. thats what all the cool kids do. and dont forget the body kit!
