Rattling Noise Over Bumps From Front Wheel, Driver Side by nahtan(m): 1:15pm On Oct 21, 2021
Hello,

I have a Honda Accord 2005 (EOD) which has 88k mileage.

About a month ago, I started hearing a rattling noise (unable to attach a sample here, link to sound below) when I go over little bumps. The sound is only generated when I go over bumps when moving at least 15mph.

The sound is not generated when I'm moving slowly on a bad undulating road. It is not generated on a smooth road, whether driving straight or turning.

Over the past one month, I've had 3 mechanics try to solve it. None was able to get to the root. I've changed the tie rod, linkages and tried a new different strut but the noise still persists. The steering rack was checked and a part with play adjusted.

The last mechanic says he suspect something is hitting the car frame.

Any idea what the noise can be?

EOD with 85k?! ehh?!


Anyways, check condition of the brackets, bushings and bent wheel hub.


I have a DC and it's got 170k on it.

Thanks.

Yeah, 88k. It's pretty neat - interior and exterior.

I had the last mechanic decouple the entire suspension. He said everything but the tie rod and linkage is solid. I'll suggest the bracket and the wheel hub.

Check your brake calipers on the affected wheel..they might be loose...


Happened to me once...

Check your shock absorber

I think I'll go with the brakes. There are clips that hook the brake pads, up and down, check to see if it's shaky.
Question: if you apply brakes lightly does the noise stop?
Re: Rattling Noise Over Bumps From Front Wheel, Driver Side by kingreign(m): 1:45pm On Oct 25, 2021
Have you checked your suspension bushings, strut bushing, brake pads anti rattle pins, your ball joints, and brake dust shield?

No, it doesn't. I tried applying the brake, the noise is still there. Also asked the mechanics to check the brake pads and the calipers. They all said its firm and okay.

Yes. Today, a mechanic discovered the gear seats were bad. Replaced them but the noise still persists.

Check your shock absorber

We checked it, completely uncoupled it, removed the spring from the other components and it was okay.

I've requested that they switch the front. Read that the front shock absorbers are the same.

When I put my bare left foot on the foot mat, I can feel the thumbing that accompanies the noise.

Based on my observations. Here are the conditions I do not hear the noise.

I do not hear it when I;

1. drive slowly over an unlevel, undulating terrain. Those unasphalted street areas where you can't speed even if you want to.
2. go over a speed bump
3. enter a pothole (slowly)
4. drive over a (perfectly) smooth asphalted road, no matter how long the drive is.


I hear it when I;

1. drive a little fast (30-40km/hr) over an unasphalted road with lots of stone - the parts that's relatively level.
2. drive over those cracks on the asphalt road. Or over the rough patch of the road where they seem to put more asphalt and forgot to level it.

At this point, I'd suggest your mechanic to check all the bolts on the transaxle subframe (front beam), all the suspension components on the front end, and also check all bushings and try to re tighten the bolts appropriately.

I feel either one or more bushing is weak and stretching or your shocks is a bit weak

Could be shock absorber pads. Let your mecho take a look at that too
Re: Rattling Noise Over Bumps From Front Wheel, Driver Side by nahtan(m): 1:18pm On Oct 28, 2021
The noise persists after fixing the gear seat.
Re: Rattling Noise Over Bumps From Front Wheel, Driver Side by nahtan(m): 1:23pm On Oct 28, 2021
The shock absorber was checked again - it's be confirmed as okay by the second mechanic.

Check bearings

Since you checked everything already, might be that the tyre touches the front frame(body of the car) during those bumps.
