Nutshell

ok so ive had this problem with my front right wheel. it sat farther back in the wheel well than the left. this was going on for several months. so i finally had time and money to get it looked at. turns out the strut rod, the lateral rod, wasnt even connected to the cross memeber. no bolt, washer, bushing, nothing. how bout that shit. i got it fixed and the guy said hondas are pron to losing that bolt. so everyone have your strut rod mounts checked..

hopefully not an arm and a leg... i'm assuming they just put a bolt on to connect it? dang... that's scary. And there were no signs of looseness while driving? hmm . Good thing nothing happened while driving... whew.

Nutshell

well i knew something was wrong, i just thought i had a bent cont arm or somthing. it made this nasty popping noise when i broke and i would squeek like hell over even the smallest bumps. but the guy at NTB was cool and let me pay him cash, $40, instead of going through the company and doubling the cost. and that was the one thing that made me hate this car, now im in love again. on with the mods, lowering is coming soon, ill have to post for you all.

broke That's not a term to describe braking

jameswbl

is it the radius rod that you are talking about?

Nutshell

haha sorry broke is an english way of saying things, here i guess its different. haha.

Nutshell

if its happening when you turn its probably your cv joints. listen to see if you hear it when you pull up to a stop light. and its number 8 that was missing the nut in the diagram..

i hope u got alignment done afterwords

AznX TL

well i know its not my cv joints because i had one replaced by acura and another replaced my a shop. but its this one street i hear it pretty well because i turn there everyday after work and it goes up a pretty steep bump that always makes that sound.

Nutshell

hmm, well get under the car and pull back your splash guard, hell throw it away. and youll see the two nuts on the front side of the cross member. even if they are there it would hurt to torque check em. also you may have bad struts or bushings. does it sound like an old creaky door?

civic_slayer

same thing happened to me but I didnt catch it in time and had to have my frame realligned cost me 160

Nutshell

yeah i remember talking to you about it. i was afraid i had the same issue. but damn i lucked out..hows yours running.

YtseJammer

I had the same problem...


But only because I ran through a 3ft deep pot hole. I ended up bending the control arm and knocking the cv joint loose.

did anyones car that had this problem shake alot around a certain mph?

Nutshell

nah i didnt have any shaking or vibrations of any kind. have you had your alignment checked lately. plus our bushings are pretty shitty too. im about to order a poly set for a few pieces of suspension..
