Anyone have any idea what may be causing a popping sound when I turn into my drive way. It only happens at very slow speed also. I drive a 99 Accord LX 4cyc AT. It sounds like it's coming from my front lower suspension area. I did lower my car about 2 1/2" and replaced my suspension with OBX coilovers and tokiko adjustable gas shocks along with18" wheels. Progressive camberkit was also installed, this was all done about four years ago. If anyone can help that would be great.

 

Is it a hollow kind of sound? If so, check your ball joints or control arms.

If it's more of a metallic clicking, check your cv joint / boot.

 

yea, do what he said. I'm more believing that it's the cv joint / boot issue.

 

CV axles.... probably. BUT... it could be the ball joints too with the suspension work you've just done.

 

Heard the sound again this morning, sounds like it's a hollow kind of pop/click. Sounds like it may be the ball joints or control arms.

you can also check real quick to see if your cv boots are torn or not...

bayarea? im in the peninsula...

 

thats your cv boo because mine was doing that and i just got the whole axle replaced for $170

 

You sure it's my CV boot? I took a look under there again and didn't see any damages or leaks on either boots, maybe it's internal, but the click only happens once just about everytime I turn and it sounds hollow like e3NiNe described it above. But one other thing I did notice was the rubber boots around the upper ball joints on SPC adjustable cambers were dried up and leaking lubricant. Maybe that's the problem?
