Icon2 stop in go poping passenger front

hey need some ideas

when i brake hard to a stop then take off fast/hard theres a pop or maybe a clunk in the front passenger side wheel area.

not sure this is related but noticed it about the same time (nice shake inside the car at 90mph that wasn't there be four)

checked cvs, motor and tranny mounts, lower a arm bushing and ball joint feel ok but i plan to take the pass side part soon.

05 civic 2dr ex 5 speed
3in drop (dropped 2 years ago don't think its got anything to do with it)


thank you for your time and or idea

To be honest, I would assume its your compliance bushings or a ball joint.

Poly bushings last much longer and give better performance but, have a stiffer(rougher) ride.

Check all your motor mounts and all the suspension bushings, including the swaybar bushings and endlinks.

I have the same problem, but just when pulling away a bit faster than normal. I`ll be watching the thread.

^^ That reminds me, check the top mount(s). I pull away a little faster and mine will pop. It's a big pop too.

it is a loud pop kinda scary sounding. by top mount you mean strut mount? that didn't even come to mind and it has been two years since the coil overs thats a great idea thanks.

hope to have a good news update Tuesday


Have to say thank you for all yalls ideas and that this site is great wish i found it two years ago would have save lots of headaches

when checking your b/j's. put a jack under the a-arm to load the suspension abd get the tire off the ground then slide a prybar underneath the tire and pull up and see if you have movement. Also while you have your car in the air, wiggle the tire up and down and left to right, check the inner/outer tie rod ends, and wheel bearings. hope this helps to save time in not having to tear it apart
