For all you guys out there with a PhD in Honda mechanics here is my problem:

1995 Accord EX

When accelerating and turning from a stop I hear a knocking or clicking sound from the front of the car but I don't think it is coming from the engine because it doesn't do it when turning at a constant speed.

I'm thinking it might be the CV joint. What do you guys think?

 

id put my money of the cv

i dont no what the cv joint is but ima 4th that, so at least i look smart

 

I'd put money on the cv's too, check to make sure no suspension is rubbing if car is lowered, how many miles do you have on the car?

 

definately agree...........cv joint would be the first thing i would check

 

me 683

 

It has 120,000 miles and the car isn't lowered. So how much is it gonna run and can I do it myself?

axles are easy.

Should be able to find them for 45-80$ a piece (rebuilt). All I've ever used are rebuilt ones and they are just fine (don't let anyone tell you different).

Get a manual if you've never done it before. An impact would make your life easier and cut the time it takes to do it in half. Consider investing in an 18V battery powered one (200ft. lbs) if you don't have an air compressor.

 

ya i would bet money on the cv's

 

I agree about the rebuilt axles to an extent, because when i bought mine it was onlt a $10 difference for new ones and the new offered a lifetime warranty whereas the rebuilt only offered a year of coverage. So if you intend on keeping the car for a while you might consider that.

 

did you look the the year those were posted? Im pretty sure he figured it out
