hey guys i need ur expertise,


i have my car lowered on H&R sports on stock shocks. I am running 17's with 205/40/r17 with 40 offset.


When i make left turns with a bit more pep (esp. on uneven roads), i hear ' knock knock knock knock' (very rapid knocks like someone knocking on the door) in the right rear.


However, when i make right turns, i dont have that problem (no noise at all)

i figured if it was my tire rubbing, it should happen on both sides right? I dunno. Could it be shocks? If so does a broken shock usually make rapid knocking noises on cornering?

If you know what is going on can you EXPLAIN what it is and why it is happening?

Thanks for any help.

sounds to me like one of your axels is clicking away, check your axels for torn cv boots.

its more of a poopping versus knocking with the cv shaft

bad balljoints have be known to make a knocking sound

Wheel bearing

wheel bearings make a whirring noise......i would check the CV joints....possible cracked boot and dry cv joint

who's there?...lol.....anyways, I'd say worn out ball-joint...I heard a knocking noise like something was loose when the ball-joint in my accord was worn out

czeto

He says it's coming from the rear....

how do i check these things? (cv joints, wheel bearing etc.?) Can anyone direct me to where to look and what to look for..........



so no one so far thinks its shocks huh?


thanks for all the replies. Keep them coming.

how sure are you that it's from the back? it does sound a lot like a CV joint except you say it's coming from the back.... if you don't know how to inspect all these things, I recommend you go to someone who does. mechanics make a living doing this for a reason.

if it was cv joints you would hear it at low speeds as well ..

oh you know what.... its prolly warped drums. I had the same thing one time I just remembered.

if its cv's the steering wheel will have a shake.

if its coming from the back, check ur rear fender and if ther are any marks on your tires... The rear fender may have to be rolled up a bit, i had this problem, where when i made a harder left, that my car would have body roll making the rear passenger side fender and tire rub, if you want to ttest this get like white chalk mark up your rear tire go make a couple turns, if u see scuffs, it will be the fender hitting...

my 2cents

imported_civicfighter

thanks for the responses guys.

i will try the chalk test 2morrow. However, i have checked the rear tire and the rear well and neither have markings. The well is damage free from what i have seen and i assume if it was rubbing it would be torn up or completely smooth or something right?

Additional info:

1) The steering wheel does not shake at all.

2) The knocking occurs more frequently and even on slow left turns when there are 3 ppl in the car. And when there are 3 ppl in the car, there are more knocks (i.e. turn = knock x 8times)

3) i am certain the noise is from the rear.

thanks for all the help guys
