wheel bearings
 
i bought my accord not moving.
front driver wheel bearing was shot. lower ball joint was loose.
fixed that.
than i found a loose pass side upper ball joint. not bad. fixed it
today i found a loose pass rear wheel bearing. not terrible but i will change it
it sure sounds like the clicks/pops are coming from front so i checked
everything and could not find anything bad. sway bar links are good
sway bar bushing are ok.

can 1 loose rear bearing sound like noises coming from the front?

havent changed rear bearing yet but i wonder about these noises

CV axles are notorious for clicks/pops when worn. Check for looseness in rotation.

good luck

i did rotate wheel while it was jacked up. the tire rotates left/right about 10deg. i looked under car and axle is turning while i do this. the play is at the transmission case. axle turns, inner cv joint turns, slop is inside trans? is that normal?

Some play is expected in trans. Don't know how much. I was referring to play in CV jts.

Try turning a tight circle slowly in parking lot while walking along side front wheels. Popping sounds near wheel are almost certainly CV jts.

good luck

First, check for looseness in rotation.

how do you check for play in joints? Hold axle, try and turn wheel? Take out axle and check it? Or look at odometer, 175k miles, and change axles?

If axle has play you should be able to turn rotor back/forth w/o shaft movement. Check both inner and outer.

good luck

Pass sway bar link is worn too. That could explain noises. I probably will change pass lower ball joint too.
