metal on metal tapping
I have a 2000 civic EX with a JDM 16a2 swap....In the front right of my civic up by the wheel well I hear a clanking everytime I hit a bump....it sounds like something loose bouncing around....I have looked and all the motor mounts are good....the bushings in that area look good....I do have alot of grease coming out around my CV boots but dont think they would be the problem...does anyone have an idea...it would be awesome if I could get this fixed myself with out spending my paint money on it lol...plz help!!!!!

RE: metal on metal tapping
are ur cv boots cracked? if so, the grease from inside there is coming out and thats whats causing the sound. theres prolly no more grease in there and the lil gears inside are rubbing together very roughly.

yeah they are...i already bought the new boots....just waiting for the money to have them put on. but its on both sides and only myleft side makes the noise....and i tried to rattle around the cv shaft and it was pretty solid

wouldnt my axle move alittle though when i try and move it? I tried and it seemed pretty solid...and i am pretty good sized guy. Also it sould like there is more movement when it makes the sound...like if i hit railroad tracks...it sounds like something is loose and slaping around quite a bit. Like an example of the sound.....when i was in iraq we drove those box vans with the metal back box and van front....well a piece of angle iron broke loose under the van and every time we hit a bump...which there is alot of over there....it would slap up and down until we hit smooth surface. also i dont get the sound when i turn sharp or anything like that.
