yea i replaced both nuts with new ones, honda oem.


i am going to do it again with yes another set if new nuts, this time i might add an extra 10 lbs to it?

 

sounds like this is like an ongoing problem for both

AP1 and AP2 heh.. gosh i better learn how to do this

cuz i really dont feel like taking it to dealerships for this

everytime cuz i hate dealerships and their attitude..

thx 4 all the inputs and tips guys~

 

I just gotta call from the dealership...


they still can not find the problem - - they are claiming that

there is no clunk sound and now they are waiting for their

service manager to drive it.. i am like DUDE! just check the

damn rear axle for gods sake ! shiet ~ i told you the problem

and solution to it.. this is driving me nutz~~ sooooooooooooooo

complicated u know~

 

Completely unnecessary and inappropriate (IMHO).

 

I just picked up my car and totally not fixed.

I personally drove the car with master tech to show him

and he was like, i don't hear anything.. in addition, after hearing

the sound, he said that this sound had nothing to do with rear

axle nut cuz this problem was solved by HONDA as of 2005 model.

The master tech told me to drive the car more and when the sound

gets awfully noticeble, then bring it back to him.


Now, I am tired of dealers BS, and I still hear that annoying clunk sound

everytime I step and let go of the gas. Can any of you could tell me

how to retorque the axle nut ? I've decided to take care of this problem

myself and get it over with... please help~

 

I hear a clunky noise, kind of like metal bending, when the car isn't running and I shift my body back and forth. It's also coming from the rear left. There might be noises on the right, but I can't hear it. Is this attributed to the rear axel nut as well?

 

humm...

mine does it at very low speed.. its like from the complete stop, then

as soon as you give it a gas, the clunk sound comes on from the right rear..

its funny though cuz it only creates that sound only when at very low speed.

Sound gets even louder and worse when i rock the car by giving quick gas

and let go, quick gas and let go at a speed of 2-5 mph.. it sucks big time~

 

Axle Nut Acid test. Get on a sloped hill, going up, let the car roll back, and then let out the clutch and take-off as normal. If the nut is loose and needs to be re-torqued, then it will pop. Kind of like someone rapping on the shifter with a wrench.

I don't think I've noticed your problem while I'm traveling at low speeds. I'll definitely pay more attention next time. As of now, I only hear it when I get in and out of the car and rock my body back and forth from putting my bag on the passenger seat and such.
