Civic Issue
I have a 2001 civic and when I start driving in the morning I hear Metal
sounding Ca-Chunk, It happens after about 1000 ft or so. Also I notice when I am driving less than 10 MPH and idol forward I can hear a repeated Metal sounding Thump. Just wondering if anyone may know what this may be before I take it in for service and get hosed since I have no idea what it is. Is almost sounds like when you run over a rock and it comes up and hits the underside of the car. Thanks. |

You might want to get out your tire iron and check all lug nuts too, seriously :-) 'Curly' |

Re: Civic Issue
I had a similar problem with my 2002 Civic. It was a loose engine mount
bolt located on the bottom of the engine just behind the radiator. I tightened the bolt and the problem was resolved. motsco_ _ wrote: > Tim wrote: > > I have a 2001 civic and when I start driving in the morning I hear Metal > > sounding Ca-Chunk, It happens after about 1000 ft or so.

Re: Civic Issue
Good advice, maybe that will fix it.

It probably isn't the lugs, but if it *is* don't expect any clearer warning before your wheel comes off while you're going down the road. Checking them is quick, cheap and easy. Your choice. Several years ago I left work to find the drive blocked by a Caddy. The guard said the driver was making a U-turn and the front wheel collapsed - broken ball joint. The guard had asked her if the car had been shaking and shimmying when crossing railroad tracks, and she answered, "Yeah! Just like that!" Mike |
