94 Accord squeaking and clicking problem

[fly29]

hey guys,

I have a 94 accord and was wondering wat this problem could be and if any of u guys know how to fix it.....

Ok the problem is that....when i drive slowly i could hear this squeaking noise and when i apply pressure on the brakes it would stop...now im thinkin it could be my brakes...another problem im havin is that when im turning left at a certain speed like about 30-40km i could hear this clunging noise at the front right hand side...im not sure wat it could be...but my friend said that it could be my driveshafts, cv shafts or wheel bearing...now im not quite too sure what it could be...so if u guys have any suggestions feel free to tell me...

[fly29]

The squeeking noise is coming from the front right hand side...i could hear it when im drivin out of my drive way and then it would stop once i apply pressure to it....

With outer CV joint how could i get that fix and replaced?

[fly29]

Ok thx poid...much appreciated with the help...ill go have a look around for some CV joints and check my brake pads....

hey there i have the same issue am going to check my brakes this weekend, with the knocking sound i also had same issue and was cv joint cost mt i think 140 150 to get them done, now also if you have recently changed tyres check and excuse the wording your nuts arnt lose cause i did a brake change on the front put the wheels back on and it started again took it back to the place and they couldnt find the issue, then when they replaced the wheel with a rattle gun they relised i hadnt tightened the nuts so the wheel was wobbling whilst driving, but get the joints checked and yes i had prices up to the 500's so look around and in the end these guys were nice and explained alot to me

Thx Hondina,

i will check around for some cv joints...my friend owns a workshop so it shouldnt cost me much for labour....only problem is should i get new cv joints or second hand ones?

[fly29]

ok will do....another question...i dont want to be a pain...but the best place to find the cv joints are on ebay? or wat other places i can look for them?

[Hondina]

go straight to a cv specialist or to something like repco or supercheap coventrys and just ask around mine were like 70 each i think honda are a rip off theres no diffrence i dont believe, but do ring arounds and dont get second hand when it comes to things like cv joints, theres no point

[fly29]

ok thx u guys...i really appreciate ur assistants...i have looked on ebay and found these cv joints...

yeh my friend said i should get my reconditioned...and he said it would roughly cost bout 150-200...i think reconditioned is the best way to go....saves the hassel of my tryin to find new ones....

[fly29]

well thx poid and hondina...thx for the advice and suggestions...another problem im havin is that my rear tail lights bulb keep blowin up...its annoyin how i have to keep replacing them

[rahul]

if you are in sydney, i highly recommend hanny's performance in smithfield. one of the best honda workshops around at a really fair price!

[4thGenExi]

Jeeeeeesus $550 each!? (genuine)

Eff that....mine need doing again soon, I'll be telling my mechanic to shop around thats for sure

[fly29]

nah sorry im located in brisbane....

i called up a workshop in slacks creek and they told me they would recondition mine for 150 each plus 15 for labour....

Knocking and clicking can also mean the swaybar bushes have worn out. Just got mine serviced and thats all the problem was, CVs are fine. Easy fix - $20 each side.

[fly29]

Thanks for the help...

I got my CV shafts replaced today....it cost 150+15 for labour...he told me that both sides are screwed...but he only had one CV shaft at his shop so he only replaced one....its much betta now...now i need to change my brake pads :(

[h22a accord]

also make sure thast your brakes have ther shims fitted behind the pads as this is a cause of squeaking

[fly29]

shims? wat are they? cant i just replace the pads and thats it?

[fly29]

ahhh ok...i will check them out today....btw can the squeakin noise be caused by my brake pads being dirty? or is the brake pads that are wearing out? cuz i had a look at my pads and they're like 1/2 left...

[fly29]

ok ill look at it later today...thx for the help
