Can someone update the pictures of 5th gen faq , knock shock TSB installation guide? I'm pretty much visual, i can't understand a thing while reading ... also , the guide says we need to take out the suspension but i read that you do not need to take off the suspesion, you just do everything from the trunk, but first removing the bolt holding the damper ect... Can anyone take clear updated pics on the procedures please?

Thank you guys, this should help everyone.

Unfortunately, in many cases, no. If you get no response within a day, I'll talk to a few random members who may be able to help.

Artifex can actually do quite a bit to help, and I've asked him similar questions before....he said he couldn't do anything. So if he can't, then it is basically a lost cause.

I completed the procedure for shock knock you mention above, did not help.
I completed another procedure below and it solved my rear knock. Took about an hour.
Bolts were loose, removed the boths and used loctite, no more knock.
The panel is under the rear seat.

^^^Really? That actually helped more than replacing the shock bushings?

Holy ****. I think I know what I need to try first.

Thank you bro. I had read the write up you linked before but though..."naahhh, that's too remote, can't possibly be it..."

Thanks again.

yesterday, i was going to garage with my 4 rotor disks and 8 pads .... i removed my trunk's wooden cover , putted aside. Then i pilled up the 4 boxes of rotors on the spare tire and surprise ....!!! No stupid knocking sound !

By trying this, this means that that is not my shock bushings that's making noise but rather, the 10 bolts holding the frame under the rear seats ....

Guy's, imagine how painful it is, to drive a fast and nice car like prelude but getting stupid sounds ... even reversing off your parking ....
