Hello everyone. Sorry waste your time and before I start I would like to say I did do a forum search before posting this with no luck.

I am hearing this horrible knocking sound when I make sharp turns after a hard drive. It makes a loud knocking sound and I can't seem to tell where it is coming from. It does not sound like it is coming from the front of the car though. It only makes it when I am rolling. The knocking noise will vary with how fast or slow I am making these turns also. Thanks for the help everyone.

 

My quick internet analysis is that you may have worn CV joints. These are located at the rear of the car and connect the half-shafts (driveshaft in Honda jargon) to the differential at one end and the rear hubs at the other. When worn, they make clicking/knocking sounds. If this is the problem they need to be replaced.

Another possibility is that you have a loose wheel. Double-check all lug nuts for tightness.

Also, I have also seen people mount their rim in the wrong location. If you mount a rear rim on the front hub it will not seat properly and can give this symptom. This most often happens during tire replacement when the technician fails to realize that the front and rear rims are different.

Yet another alternative is that the front wheels are contacting part of the chassis or suspension during hard turns. If you are using aftermarket wheels with the wrong width and/or offset, this can occur.

 

Thank you, I will check all of these.
