    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    Thanks so much for the help. You were right on the money with the suspension. The other day, I went over every nut and bolt with my torque wrench to make sure nothing was loose. Today, I took a 3 foot piece of pipe and started prying on any and everything Turns out my sway bar would clunk on...

    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    Capsid, I did check what you suggested and everything looks in order. I honestly don't have a clue. I thought I was familiar with this car but it just seems like I'm looking for a needle in a hay stack. When i jump up and down on the driver side door sill, I can emulate the clunking. I do not...

    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    Yes sir. They are good and tight. The noise seems to be coming from the middle of the car, near the shifter.

    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    Okay folks, here's an update. I removed the radius rod (which is a pain in the *** to remove those 19mm bolts) and replaced the bushings, reinstalled, and torqued when on the ground. I even used loctite blue or permatex blue whatever. Took it for a test drive and for the first few minutes it...

    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    Thanks for the help guys, I really do appreciate it. So when this first started happening, I got under the car with and without the weight of the car on the wheels and shook, pulled, and pried everything. Nothing really jumped out at me as super loose or a safety hazzard. I did find that the...

    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    BUMP! Can anyone lend a hand? I know a torn boot indicates eminent failure, but what does this mean? A broken boot means the grease is gone, but how did this happen to my boot? Dont see any leaking grease...

    DIY: V6 Hood Damper Installation for 4cyls. (hood struts, lifts, shocks)

    I used the mending plate. It doesn't look too bad! I like it. I want to point out that you will need to file the hole in the hood maybe 1/8" all around if you want to use the mending plate. I didnt feel like hooking up the electric to use my dremel. Life is hard for us garage-less modders.

    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    Thanks eclipse, ill give that a shot today. By the way, when the wheel was moving in and out, i saw the outter cv joint/axle move in and out. It wasnt as much as the wheel but it was enough to make me feel concerned. There is absolutely no clicking when turning the wheel. The...

    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    Update: ive been busy this weekend. Yesterday i was doing front brakes and noticed that the right outter cv joint boot had a tiny tear and the inner, smaller clamp was sliding off the axle. I went ahead and replaced the axle instead of repairing the joint because i also wanted to see if my...

    98 LX with loud clunking noise over any imperfection in road

    Hey guys so this clunking is very new to this car. It might have started on monday and has gotten worse to the point where i decided not to the drive the car. Edit: i should mention that i have replaced every component of the front suspension over the past 6 months. I got underneath and shook...

    98 LX auto whines in park and drive

    So I did what you recommend. Got a shiny alternator from pull a part. I swapped it with my noisy and alternator and now I hear less noise. I would say the whining is 50% quieter. Its better than nothing and for $20 I'll take it. Is there anything i can do to my old alternator to fix the noise?

    98 LX auto whines in park and drive

    Okay guys here is my update. I went to autozone and bought a stethoscope. It was only 10 bucks but wow is it really crappy. The ear phones barely fit in my ear, are made of hard non comforming rubber and just generally really a crappy quality product. I would recommend going to advance auto and...
