WTF is this noise now?

Well right now I'm bored in Princeton, NJ at the hotel and posting from the damn tv in the room. 10.00 to go on teh net, i should be looking at porn not posting on here!

Anyways I'm here for my sisters wedding until Monday. I arrived last night...

Alright enough bs, yesterday after school I drove to Miami to pick up my g-ma and bring her back to my house. Threw all her luggage in the slammed bitch and drove an hour back home. I've been having problems with A/C, not blowing cold air but imma bring it in when I get back home.

So I finially make it back home after a long drive from Miami cause 3 lanes were closed AND then I hit 3 school zones on the city streets when I got off. Took about 1hr 25min to get home from miami which is usually at 35min drive. I had all my g-ma's bags in the trunk and one in the backseat.

Hmm enought rambling...About 5 miles from my house I start hearing a "clunk" "pop" "knock" sound kinda. It is hard to explain. Its kind of like the sound I hear when I hit a pothole and my camber kit hits the strut tower. But this was happening as I was driving. It was the weirdest thing ever. Wasn't a loud noise just a weird clunkish pop. It was coming from the front of the car, i think the passenger side. I was thinking it was a tranny issue but it seemed to be shifting fine? I did smell tranny fluid but i think that was just cause i spilled some a while ago under the hood. BTW my grandma doesn't way much and I have had fat friends who weight 2x as much soo I dont think it was a rubbing issue. Maybe because I had alot of junk in the trunk? Would that affect the front? The sound was kinda random like every minute or two. I let the car run for like 5 minutes after and didn't do it once, so It only happened when driving.

Could it be A/C related? Tranny? WTF?

LOL I'm getting sick of this bitch...I aint giving her no NXT wax until she fukin behaves. Anyways im heading to the hotel buffet to get some PROTEIN...

Any you first gen bitchz live in NJ ? This place sucks what the hell is this NO LEFT TURN bullcrap? We got a lincoln navigator rental and I hoped a median to make a left turn. Thanks for reading my shit and have a good day.

Well Princeton is boring as hell there is absolutely nothing to do. You can just go downtown and hung out with all the yuppie undergrads. I highly doubt you'll see any 1st gen around there most likely bimmers

ok i have the same noise you talk about. check your front upper ball joints. they seem to give out in the front since theres to much weight. i'm putting 2 new ones in this weekend.

noise gets worse and if you dont chnage it right away the actual balljoint bounces up and down everytime you hit something which can cause it to fuck up the mounting it has on the control arms meaning you would have to buy a whole control arm with the balljoint because the old is useless which i just had to do

i'd check the lower ball joints rather than the upper ones...the lower ones are more prone to pop out and if they do you're fucked...honda sells lower ball joints separately for a reason

edit: you might as well check out your entire suspension while you're at it
