I have developed a "clunk" type sound in the front end sometimes when just starting out, backing up, or turning. Only have 43,000 miles. Dealer tells me this is "normal" due to brake calipers being attached to the struts. That does not really sound like a reason for the sound, and why it just started recently. Anyone have experience with this?

Replying to: stevegio (Feb 25, 2008 2:41 pm) Do you notice a slight vibration in steering wheel that you may have grown used to? My current thought is a resonant frequency occurs at certain speeds causing panel etc. noises due to vibrations occuring that shouldn't. Notice if it occurs at a certain speed range. Or even rpm. This would be similar to slight tire imbalance but we've eliminated that. With the age of your vehicle it may be related to the propellor shaft ujointsat the rear having some play. That ultimately might require a driveshaft replacement.1000$ HAve the run out checked. That play could cause the resonant frequency. On the otherhand it might be a lesser revealed side effect of dual pump fluid needing replacement. Or being a non honda fluid. But thats a wild shot and i'm way too new to the CRV to know for sure. I'll try that first as it's way cheaper than the alternative.10$

Replying to: stevegio (Mar 04, 2008 1:45 am) Everything i mentioned pertains if you have AWD. The propller shaft only and always rotates when vechicle is in motion. A noise also when in park due to vibration could be worn motor mounts if all other suspension issues are AOK. .A guess. I too thought it might be seatbelt rattling. Sounds like we have same problem,same location. And same generation 1 CRV. But any rattling,squeaking,tapping,clicking etc that isn't rythmic(think tires rotating) is very well vibration. Even if one were to find a rattling panel and damp it , we could just shutting off the "alarm" of the real problem. Reason i brought up driveshaft is that i had timing belt and other maintenance recently. New tires at same time. Mechanic thought maybe tires weren't balanced at first but found that u joints had play and attributed vibration to that. Knowing that i was able to detect slight vibration.Nothing too shaky. ANd speed related being worse at cruising speeds. Since i had noticed this noise before service(especiallly at cruising speeds) am trying to determine if noise and ujoint issue are related. Maybe not. But it ain't the tires. New set or old. I just purchased this used CRV. Very mint in most respects with 116000 miles. I live in area where nearest Honda dealer is over 100 miles away(to obtain fluids and other honda parts). Trannie and rear pump fluid were replaced a few thousand miles back by prior owner with local service. Suspecting they didn't use honda fluids. I've read of rear pump fluids causing grinding,moaning and VIBRATION as symptoms requiring fluid service. Easy enough to redo that but i'm awaiting the fluids to arrive.Should have it done by this weekend . Keep me posted if you find the answer and likewise on this side. BTW if that noise is really driving you NUTS and you do confirm that ujoints have play you might if ambitious enough, remove the propeller shafts(looks easy enough)and try running it as a FWD only mode to see if noise disappears. I've read where others have done this for short periods of time while awaiting new driveshafts.. Someone mentioned that the rear half shafts should be disabled too .I'd research that first. But not alot out there about this. All to avoid the cost of driveshaft on older vehcile. Ujoints are one piece, part of shaft and non greasable and as mentioned expensive. Consult honda serivice manual about making marks on connections etc prior to removal. But i plan on driving this ride to the end of reasonable life span..past 200K much like my 93 camry with 220K and still humming.So i may bite the bullet & replace it. And live in deep snow country so the clearance and AWD are appreciated. But miss that 33plus mpg camry routinely provides in comparison. Get 22-24 with CRV. |

Replying to: bgjcxen (Mar 04, 2008 8:24 am) The only problems i know about are the ones that come looking for me , find me, grab me and try to shake the money from my wallet. I usually try to fight back. I haven't had this one(on a CRV) but could very well be heat shield by cat convertor . You might take a screwdriver handle and go under and try to duplicate noise to identify location. And goggle some more...think theres a honda TSB tech serv bullet about your problem. |

Replying to: bgjcxen (Feb 27, 2008 4:44 am) Heat shield would be a metallic rattle. If you crawl under grab stuff to see it anything is loose but then don't make anything loose either! |

Replying to: red98v (Mar 04, 2008 8:07 am) yes i have AWD believe it or not i may have found the problem, i hope. i moved the rear seat back passenger side into a different position (forward one setting) - so far there is no noise today! crazy huh? waiting to see what happens. stevegio

Replying to: stevegio (Mar 04, 2008 4:36 pm) Funny you should say that as i folded the right rear seat down to slide some skis under the front headrest lying the length of the back today and no noise then. Maybe some grease on the pivots and no more noise in any position? |
