Hi, my first post.

I bought my '93 Accord new and I have kept it bone stock (120K). Never had any problems but recently I've noticed a "crunch" sound from the front suspension anytime that I cross a speed bump or dip in the road. My car is still tight and drives perfect. It does appear that the sound is more pronounced when the temperatures are colder. Any thoughts? thanks.

 

Front Sway bar bushings, drop the bar, grease them back up, you should be good for a while.

 

Hey, I would like to see how this goes, b/c my 91 with 140k miles does the same thing yet still feels very tight

 

Thanks Briq4.

Tharp, if the weather is good here in the South this weekend I'll give this a try and post the results.

 

its a common problem in many hondas. I call it a "clunk". I still gotta try a few things to fix it... replace my bushings, get some spring coil wrap, and maybe add rubber covers for the spring ends.

search for "shock knock", thats what other people call it.

I wold also suspect a broken front spring. Jack the front of the car and feel the coils with your hand.
