    Strange noise

    My car has a strsnge noise on the front passenger side. I thought it was a cv axle getting ready to go out because it happens mostly when making a left turn but not always. It will also do it when I accelerate hard in a straight line. I replaced the axle and the sound is still there. I know I'm going to need a clutch soon because the throw out bearing is starting to make a noise also. Could the other sound be from the clutch also?

    Have you check your upper and lower ball joints, sway bar endlinks, and tierods?

      Swaybar end links were replaced when I got the car and so were the strut rod bushings. Haven't checked the ball joints yet.

        how do your "tophat" bushings look? my old civic made a popping noise when I turned certain ways and that was my problem.

        edit: nevermind you said they were new.

            OP: So your strut bushings and swaybar endlinks are replaced. Now i would check for play in the ball joints, tie rods and while you have the car jacked up check your bearings too, it cant hurt.

            Check back and let us know what you find

              Hopefully I'll be able to check it out tomorrow. My neighbor has a shop and a lift. If he gets some down time I'll be able to put it up on the rack and see what's going on. Have any of you guys ever put a clutch in one of our cars? I've always had trucks and have never done a front wheel drive clutch yet.

                It's not all that hard to drop the tranny on an accord. Especially if you have a lift and power tools.

                Pull out the axles, all the 'bell housing' bolts, tranny mount bolt, cooling lines, a few electrical connections, flex plate bolts and shifter cable. I don't think it requires you to take the starter off. --> When you get to the back side of the block, there is a bracket that goes thru the rear motor mount, and you can unbolt the entire bracket from the motor/tranny and leave it connected to the mount, or completely remove it.
                When you drop it, the clutch replacement is pretty straight forward. Getting the damn thing back in is the hard part.

                All the information you would ever want to know about a CB7 tranny can be found here:

                I will post the link with instructions when I find it. Good luck!

                  Finally found out that the noise it the differential bearing in the trany. I got good one from Beavers Honda Salvage down the road from me for $175 and it's getting put in tomorrow. Now the only thing to do is finish painting it and I'll be done for a while.

                    How many miles are on your car? Those differential bearing goes out due to age? Or poor maintenance?

                    Thanks.

                      It's got 229,000 miles on it but only about 20,000 from me. I don't know how the previous owners treated it.
