Strange intermittent sound coming from front of 2004 Accord V6-EX
Hello all, I have a 2004 Accord V6-EX with 7500 miles that has a rather strange condition. I say condition rather than problem; it is not clear what I about to describe is a problem. There is a distinct noise coming from the undercarriage of my car that occurs as follows. I start up my car after it has been off for at least 4 hours. I back up the car for a small distance. That is either out of my gargage or my parking spot at work. I travel at low speed for a short distance thereafter, perhaps 100 ft, and I here what sounds like a "twang" coming from the front suspension. It is not the same sound the car makes when traversing holes or bumps in the pavement. It does sound like a problem with a steering boot. The rather wierd thing is that I don't hear that sound again, regardless of how much I'm turning or driving until the car is parked and off for at least 4 hours. It is rather strange that the sound occurs *once* for each cycle. Has anyone observed this before? What is going on? My local Honda dealer can't diagnose the problem. TIA -- Harvey J. Cohen, Ph. D. ------- Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. -- Mark Twain ------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Tell the service writer about the problem and make sure the problem is fixed before it goes off warranty.

I have a similar prob on my 98 civic, its done it since

Could it be the ABS? My 04 sedan makes a slight noise as the ABS tests
after the car has sat for a bit.
