get this shit... to my astonishment

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.

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.

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..

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?

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.
