I'm getting a clicking sound from my engine compartment when i turn right.. It's louder when i turn right but i get some when i also turn left. I know it's not he cv joints becuase i had them replaced for the 4th time in like 4 months (very long storey), any idea's???

CV joints. is the car lowerted or out of alignament ? is one of the motor mounts busted ?

[azn_nite_ryder]

axles are probably shot...

[Accord Man]

maybe an engine mount.

i had 2 of them busted (now i have only one) and they never cliked on me. that might be the reason the joints are getting shot thou

You are not the only one. It happened to me as well. I own a 1998 4 door Accord. I bought the car for $4.500 but it was smashed...but not that bad. It cost me $1,500 to fix it up. Now I get the clicking sound when I turn right and when the right tire in the front hits a pot hole. The dude that fixed my car told me to come back to him and he will take care of the problem for free. So I guess I will know whats wrong soon.

If it's the engine mount or axle, how can i check it to determine the problem??

[ebpda9]

just look for the mounts. if there is a problem with the mounts you will see they are either broken from the weldpoints or the rubber that insulates the engine from the boddy is shred to pieces

Yeah i looked at the mounts today and they all look good, i installed some fog lights today, took me like 30 min to figure out how i was gonna get the switch inside the firewall, so i just went through the passenger side and behind the glove box, they look pretty sick...i'll get some pics up for ya guys when i get the chance. Plus i'm going tomorrow to a macanic in town to have them look at what the problem might be with the clicking sound. My dad said it might be the differential but i'm gonna wait for the macanic to have the final word.

[Accord Man]

*differential* as in tranny?!?


umm, I cant really see how..

[panther314]

hey are you using after market cv shafts????? or have u just changed the boot ???? let me know !!

[Jakethesnake]

I've changed the whole axle assembly shaft....that includes the cv joints....i went macanic and they wont be able to acutally go under and look untill next tuesday...so that kinda sucks...i just noticed today that my car was making a hissing sound so i took appart the air box and looked at the airfilter...holly crap...it was soo dirty, after cleaning it i went for a spin and notice a noticable differance in accel.....NOTE TO ALL: CHECK YOUR AIR FILTER :)
