89 Prelude clunking
When starting from a stop, it's clunking while accelerating.
When not accelerating, no clunking. It's only at very low speeds, and is not confined to a direction. It happens when turning either left or right. I've been told CV joint. Is this accurate? Is it expensive to repair? W |

CV joint will have a ratcheting sound. Almost always in a hard turn at low
speeds. I've been through enough CV joints after owning 11 Hondas G-Man "Warren White" <white_warren@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:cf0ec8dc.0404131102.5befc5cd@posting.google.c om... > When starting from a stop, it's clunking while accelerating. > When not accelerating, no clunking. > > It's only at very low speeds, and is not confined to a direction.

Re: 89 Prelude clunking
Thanks, G-Man,
It only happens when I have the accelerator pressed. When my foot is off the gas, no matter how hard the turn (and I've tried some real hard turns), no clunking. Is this an expensive repair? Is it doable at home? W "G-Man" <somebody@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:<107ofq7f2skkle2@news.supernews.com>... > CV joint will have a ratcheting sound.

Re: 89 Prelude clunking
What I do is replace the whole axle assy. They cost about $100.00
each. It's a pretty straight forward job that can be accomplished by an average mechanic. Get a Haynes manual and that will walk you throught the axle replacement. The reason I replace the axle is because there are 2 CV Joints per axle and if one is bad it's not long before the second one will go. Tim Work From Home...
