Clunking noise ???? PLZ HELP !!

[SIvic]

ok guys, I got a problem with my hatchie. I believe this problem is getting worse because the noise keeps getting worse..


when I take off from a light I hear like a click / clunk from the front end like the wheel is being shifted back or forth.... I also hear it when I apply the breaks hard...

could this be a radius rod? I really have no Idea what it is and hope to get it fixed really soon..


btw....it isnt the motor because they are brand new mounts with polyurathane inserts.

DUDE its your c/v shafts change them asap

ok, I can see it would be my CV shafts when I take off from a light, but how come when I start braking???????

[Cjz89civic]

If you have the clutch out and slow down it will do the same thing cause you are just moving the shafts the other way still causing it to make nosie . The only time you may not hear it is when you are not exelerating or when the clutch is depressed and your coasting.

[civickiller]

does it do it when you rev the motor or just when your driving ?
