I've been hearin' this sound for a few weeks now; from the outside, front/back & i can hear it from inside :?

alright...when im travelling about 15-25k/ph...rolling abit slow, when i accelerate quicker KNOCK! then let go of the throttle fast KNOCK!, it makes that sound from the back & sometimes the front..the sound doesn't play up on me when in driving normally, well very rarely.
& often when im sittin' on the traffic then if i press on the accelator alil/quicker(taking off), i hear the sound "knock!" again :!: its annoying :evil: & it worries me sometimes :(

do u guys encounter this problem or think what the hell it is :?:
pls let me know :idea: my ride is an EG H/B

thankz :D

If it's the CV joints, the noise will be loudest when you are at a full lock turn, that is one tell tale sign...

Maybe it could be something rolling around in your car? :P

it sounds like something is touching.. my swaybars make a lil noise now because the lube isnt keeping on them.. i had even knocks when my swaybar was hitting my exhaust also.. have a lok around the wheel/suspension components. jack the car up get a copper hammer, and give everything a lil going over. see if anything is loose.. also take notice of any dirt around the underbody, and look for patches they are clean because something has been rubbing on them. thats how i found my problems.

....is it an actual "knock" noise or more of a low "wobble" ?

Have you noticed anything differnt about your cars performance in any way ?

Changed /modified anything of recent ?

Hit a curb , or a big bump etc ?

....is it an actual "knock" noise or more of a low "wobble" ?No, just that 'knock' sound...like a tap noise.

Have you noticed anything differnt about your cars performance in any way ?No, my car still going good :)

Changed /modified anything of recent ?Ive recently changed my suspension to a better one, but even with my old suspension, the noise was there. Now, i think it's lesser :!: haha i dunno :?

I had knocking sounds when i would reverse and stop, or take off. IT was my driveshaft, it was completely rooted and the insides of the joints were fallen to parts. Just a suggestiion
