Clunk from front end.

I am starting to hear a clunk that sounds like its coming from the left front of my car. It happens sometimes when I hit a bump, or take a hard right turn. Does anyone else notice this in their car?

i'm having the same exact problem......

i get a clunk from under the left hood area when i hit a bump or take a hard right. i'm debating taking it to the dealer but it doesnt always happen, its kind of look cracking one of your finger joints, it happens only sometime.......

Me too. There's at least one other thread about this. I'm doing my best to figure it out with my limited resources.

Same thing here (front left). Have heard it going over a small curb usually, also on turn-in on ramps.

It may be a motor mount thats faulty. i had a clunking sound over particular bumps that was pretty audible. i brought my car back and after a full day of 2 honda master techs checking everthing it has been determined a faulty right side motor mount. im picking my si up here in an hour os so and i can shed more light on exactly what was wrong. there is a bulletin that honda techs have access to in order to help diagnose there job and help others to as well. there is one about this right side mount.

Honda has a TSB for the following vehicles. This only applies to Si Coupes. there are several other affected models too including the FA5 So make your dealer find it.

TSB # 06-061

VIN range # 0001 - 3185

If you havea noise from the right side front.the noise is coming from the pass side motor mount. if you have a clunk noise in the front on both side that is the bump stops

does it sound/feel like its coming from the wheel well?


check the brake caliper. My Sentra SE-R had this problem...turns out one of the caliper bolts had sheared off, causing the entire mechanism to wiggle and clunk.
