There is a clicking sound coming from the front drivers side while driving. It sounds like something is rubbing or bumping into something else. It only happens when I'm driving in reverse or at slow speeds. There is no noise when driving at about 40 mph ++. Anybody got any idea on what this could be. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you transfer the stock rubber isolators? Or did the isolators come with the CT springs. Also, make sure you tightened everything, especially the suspension fork, that can lead to ugly noises.

I took it to Lasher Acura and they replaced the bushings and said that should help it, but it didn't. The noise started back up after one day. Now they won't touch it because it has been dropped.

bump - in case someone can help me w/ this.

Which bushings are you talking about?

Is it a constant clicking? Random?

My guess is the springs are not seated correctly in the top hat.

They replaced the front bushings and the lower control arms. It is random clicking at slower speeds. It doesn't happen at high speeds. Only when backing up or going forward slowly, 30 miles per hour or less I'd say.

Is it a metallic click, high pitched, or dull?

Why did they replace those items, accident?

When I took it back to where I had my car lowered, they told me that I had bad bushings that needed to be replaced. So I took it to Acura, and they said that there were in fact bad and that the lower control arms also needed to be replaced. So they took care of that, but it didn't fix the clicking. They told me that if that didn't fix it then it was out of there hands since I lowered my vehicle.

The clicking is a dull metallic click. More like a knock.
