Hey guys,
I recently purchased a 2000 accord ex 4-cyl with 25,000 miles. For the past week, the car has been making a funny clunking noise coming from the bottom center of the engine. It makes the noise when I pick up the driver side fender and push it down. It makes this annoying noise eveytime I drive and go over a bump. I thought it might be my struts so I changed the front struts , but that did not help. If I pick up the passenger side fender and push it down, it does not make any noise, it only happens on the passenger side. The noise sounds like its coming from the bottom center of the engine. I checked both axles for any wear and they seemed fine, I also checked out the lower sway bar bushings and they too seemed fine. Any help would be much apprciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Before I finished reading your post I was thinking sway bar links LOL. But they usually make a lighter bobbling noise. Hmm Umm try checking you ball joints for any play, also check control arm bushings and radious bushings. Really need to be there I guess the get full diag.

 

Whoa,This has to be the biggest bump in history.

diagnose the problem before you start replacing parts. highly unlikely for struts to go out after only 25k.

 

LOL... wow might as well add my thoughts too. I'm think possible broken engine mount.
