Rattling Problems in prelude? - Honda Prelude Forum

VN-TEC · 03-09-2002, 05:46 PM

My car at low speeds seems to make a clicking sound coming from the rear, and sometimes there would be a horrible shaking from the front passenger side. I was rolling in my friends prelude last night also and it made almost the same noises, do u guys have the same problem

I have little noises and rattle coming from the back and one from passenger door. So I have to turn up the music to drown it out.

i used to get shock knock from the rear, but i sound deadened the strut towers and i dont get it anymore.

now my front suspension rattles when going over bumps, but u can only hear it with the windows down.

i guess i have a relatively quite lude

vn-tec, how long have you had a h23 vtec? i've heard they are not very realiable.

MR.CLIFFORD · 03-11-2002, 03:10 PM

Have you checked your upper control arm bearing? I've blown the bearing on each side, and it made some nasty noise when each one was shot (happened at different times). It was isolated to each respective side, when it happened, so you might want to check this out. It's a bearing within a very short (1/4") boot on the outter portion of the upper control arm.
