1997 Honda Accord clunking noise	Sign In

I have 1997 honda accord, the front driver wheel appears to make a clunking noise when going over bumps, also when reversing out of the drive and I turn hard right there is a grinding noise, it is the only time it makes this noise.

The brakes have been replaced and the wheel bearings, and has been on a lift and checked for cv joints and there is no appearance of wear or tear here or anything else.

Any ideas what this noise could be? any help or advice would be appreciated...

A noise aggrevated by a bump suggests more to do with the strut than bearing, brake, or CV joint issues. Any and everything front end should be checked and rechecked till this is found. The noise aggrevated by extreme turns does suggest CV joint problems and hard to see or feel while in place on the car.

For those - they will frequently give you regular clucks, crackles when turning AND accellerating. Other items can do that too like the bearing you said you just replaced. It's hard to believe a new one(s) would have same bad character as an old one though. They can be faulty out of the box. Tie rods or a lower joint or bushing might allow motion out of spec causing the noise also. It means checking it all, all over if need be,

Hi there,

Just thought I would post a quick outcome, have had the car checked and the problem was bolts missing off the brakes, so all is well.

Thanks again for answering and your advice
