hmm might be an axle issue. JAck the front of the car up and wiggle the wheels and turn them. See if you can source the noise. Could be a bad engine mount too

yea there are some mount bolts that hold it down facing up but under the engine. And its massive. Replace what you can reach which should be the front and side ones and see if that works before spending money on the rear

Well so far I've replaced both front and rear trans mounts wasn't too difficult at all. The front trans mount was completely gone haha the rubber wasn't attached to mount and the rear mount was on the way out to so hopefully that helps I haven't drove it yet just got done working on it. Also with it jacked up if I spin drivers side wheel by hand it doesn't spin but it does slightly move back and fourth. As for passengers side ican spin it freely.?

back and forth 9 and 3 o clock would indicate tie rod issues, and 12 and 6 o clock shaking would indicate ball joint issues. The spinning is normal, it sounds like you have an auto.

But one wheel spins and the other doesnt? If I try to spin drivers side it slightly turns but barely and passengers side spins freely? Also the rode shaped thing connected to both wheels theres like a rubber thing on it thats completely ripped on both sides? Have any idea what I mean?? Lol

the CV boot is what covers the axle on both ends near the wheel and tranny. It will look like someone slung oil all over the whole area if it tears. If you turn and hear clicking or clanking its most likely that axle has been torn for sometime and is time to be swapped out. not really an expensive part to replace if you can do it yourself

So does the whole axle need to be replaced or just the boot? Cause the boots are basically completely ripped apart on both ends?

Well by the time you replace the boots its easier to replace the whole thing. IF you're hearing the noise already during driving and turning then the axle is bad and will need replace anyhow. Doesn't take much dirt to ruin an axle

most all CV axles are rebuilt Honda units except the brand new Honda CV axles. i'm sure there are some aftermarket CV axles but most Major stores have rebuilt ones thats why they ask for a Core Charge so they will have more of them to rebuild

got 1 from Autozone about 3 months ago. no problems so far and if so i have lifetime warranty just stash receipt in glovebox etc

Not sure who makes direct import. Thats a new brand they have been carrying but it looks just like masterpro stuff. No they charge you 55+50 if you dont bring the old one back. So you are paying 55

Autozone is better with their warranty's than oreilly's. Ive had situations where my oreilly warranty disappeared and you dont want to have to carry a receipt for the rest of your life.
