Changing my control arms unfortunately didn't fix my clunk. My clunk was actually from the subframe, I noticed it when accelerating from a stop and when heavy braking. I started noticing the clunk after I had the subframe out of the car when changing the transmission input shaft bearing. A year later, and after replacing nearly everything in the front end with no success, I finally found the issue. Apparently the subframe should be tightened with weight on the tires, not when jacked up. I loosened the 4 -17mm bolts holding it, let the car off the jack stands, then tightened them back up. Clunking is finally gone! Another thing I did was make sure the sway bar was aligned correctly, equal distance from the control arm on both sides - loosen the 2 bushing brackets and use a pry bar to wiggle it left or right as needed. I even paid a mechanic to diagnose the noise, he had me replacing parts unnecessarily. Thanks for video, hopefully my comment will also help someone out there, cheers!
@@shrimpfriedrice494 I changed both the sway bar bushings & end links and I still had a clunk, re-alignment didn’t help either. My noise was for sure from the 4 subframe bolts; just google search their location. Also do not tighten them with the car Jacked up, you must have the car’s weight down on the tires when tightening. Cheers!
Right now my 02 Civic has a clunk sound when accelerating from stop. I never messed with subframe or anything like that. What would cause the subframe to act up like that?
It probably isn't your subframe, mine was acting up because I had it out of the car and didn't torque it probably when re-installing. I'd start with the cheapest things like sway bar links and bushings, check your motor mounts and ball joints. Cheers! @@voltixD
Hi Bro, I have a 2000 Honda Civic and have a clunking sound everytime I move away forward or reverse and also when coasting along and I punch the gas pedal there's a clunking noise from underneath, noise seems to be the middle of the car area (underneath), any ideas Bro?
