I hear a clunking under the hood of my 2002 TL-S when i hit bumps. You can also hear it when i start the car up a bit. It isnt mounts because the motor feels solid. I am pretty mechanically inclined so i would pick out something obvious pretty quickly. Looking for some help or maybe similar experiences. Keep in mind the car is bone stock.
Also, if anyone knows how much it costs to get a copy of the factory key and alarm, i would appreciate that info as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

i have it too, try backing up with a little more gas than usual...is it worse? i think mine is the rear motor mount and im going to the dealer tuesday or wednesday

 

No mine doesnt do it at all when backing up. Sometimes when turning the wheel and accelerating, usually on bumps, and when you start the car you can hear it clunking a little for a second when the motor vibrates when it first starts. Keep me posted anyway. Thanks

 

Its about 85~120 bucks for the key and FOB something like that, depends on the dealer, they need your VIN to copy the key cause of that immobilzer chip.

 

Thanks...
Anyone else on my clunking issue?

 

Could be that the OEM sway bar bushings or end links need to be tightened. I had the same problem in the rear with my Comptech sways. I know you're stock, but have Acura look into it.

 

I also have a clunking sound. It happens when I mildly get on or off the gas at speeds below 40. I thought it might be brake pads, but I'm not sure. I'll have the dealership look at it when I take it in for a tire change (but that may be weeks).

 

Thanks all! Keep me posted if anyone has any updates, im gonna bring mine in this week hopefully so ill let you all know what the outcome is.

 

I have a *clinking noise* only when im slightly on the gas or under 25 mph. Im taking my car in to get that checked on Feb. 18th so I will let everyone know what it is.
