Any ideas on cause of a clunking noise (2007 (7th Gen) Honda Accord EX-L V6)?
I own a 2007 Honda Accord EX-L V6 (7th Generation). Recently, there has been a clunking noise coming from the rear of the car. I'm looking for ideas as to its cause (potentially for an "easy" DIY job). I live in Michigan, so conditions are prime for corrosion and road damage (potholes galore).
The clunking seems to occur after braking (during acceleration) and at lower speeds. I looked at the rear brakes recently and found even wear patterns. I don't suspect the brakes are the cause, but I haven't discounted it completely.
I figured I might as well get a list of other options before I get the car up on the jack stand to figure it out.
Potential issues I'm toying with…
1) Brakes/calipers
2) Shot shocks/springs
3) Roll bar assembly (Broken droplinks? I've heard this is a problem in the front, but I don't know about the rear.)
Ideas for other things to check on while I've got the car on lifts would be appreciated.
Go ahead and check the rear suspension out and if everything turn out good then I would look into the spare tire cavity. I once travel more than 50 miles (It was the time I was a mobile technician in the late 80's) to find out that the noise was an unsecured spare tire.
Could not charge the "Poor" customer but he insisted to give me some cocos for gas and breakfast. Lol
- What could cause a clunking noise when hitting a bump in a Honda Pilot 2019? When vehicle hits bumps in the road, a clunking/thumping noise happens. Sounds like spare tire is hitting but actually it's, because that has been checked and is secured tightly. Very annoying.
- On my 2014 honda rancher the rearend is making a clunking sound? It seams like its coming from the area where the drive shaft meets the casing it doesn't make the sound when I go fast it sounds like something loose what could it be?
- We have a 2006 Honda CBR. When you drive it, there's a loud whirring noise coming the back underneath side. What could cause that noise? The noise is situated around a CV boot on the left underneath side where the differential connects to the middle.
- Having some Honda problems any ideas? I was riding my 2006 crf 250r and it just had a top end rebuild and it was running fine for a while but I just took it out a couple days ago and after riding for about an hour the compression in the kickstart got really stiff and a couple times it backfired when I kick started it and I couldn't start if at all. Any ideas what it could be?
