im new to this site and ive been outta honda for 4 years..i recently picked up a 93 si hatch it had a b18b in it till i spun the #4 rod bearing soo i swaped the d16z6 back into it well every since then im now having a nasty pop noise coming from the rf wheel area when i break and when i take off..soo today i replaced the wheel bearing and hit all the suspenion parts with the impact to see if that would help but no fix it still makes the pop or clunking noise...its not the cv axles there brand spankin new not remans.....im also getting a metal on metal thin grinding noise from the diff area of the tranny i think it could be the carrier bearings in the diff....if anyone might of had this problem please help

thanks

 

ball joint bro!

 

so i replaced the ball joints and tie rod ends and this **** still pops the same!!!!

 

sounds like an axel and did you replace the upper and lower ball joints? and autozone axels suck.

 

autozone axles do suck, ive snapped two of them. glad they warranty them. have you check motor mounts, brakes, ect?

 

oh yeah slipped the torque mounts can do that. if they're busted fill em with 3m window weld. works wonders and is only 20

 

the pop noise is probly from the clips missing in your brake pads

 

si hatches had front link pins. front link pins can cause a clunk or pop

 

^agree'd i had this issue and it was the sh*tty autozone axles i had put in.

 

i have gsp new axels from adavence auto parts, i replaced the lowers and theres no wheel movement or endplay nemore what are the front link pins??

 

its sounds like its in the rf but u can feel it under the passangers seat..ill check the brakes again but when i put the ball joints in all the clips where there

 

does it make that noise all the tiem?

 

are the lca bolts tight

 

lcm bolts r tight as hell.....only makes the noise at take off and when i initanly brake

 

its got solid motor mounts and a k-sport 32way adjustable coilovers

 

Si hatches came with a front swaybar didn't they? Check to make sure the swaybar is tight.

 

sway bar it tight

 

okay check these things a bad shock or loose spring can cause a clunk. As already posted bad sway bar end links or loose worn rubber check the front lca mounting points for worn rubber bushings.

 

ok i fixed the problem thanks everyone... i took the front shocks out and re-adjusted them and swaped sides the noise went away
