    I’m getting a judder through the wheel when turning stationary rough ride over road and a loose knock when hitting the brakes I’m thinking it is the control bushings worn. Had 2 subframe engine mounts done too mounts changed and suspension checked. Been a bit of a nightmare getting a mechanic to actually spend time diagnosing it so have had to do it myself 😂

    Hi Bro, my 2000 civic has a clunking noise whenever i pull away forward or reverse from a standstill or when i punch the gas pedal while coasting, theres a clunk and i feel it come through the floor, any ideas Bro?

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  3 місяці тому +1

      It could be a number of things! How does the engine look when you do that? Could be a motor mount also

      @@TutorialGenius The engine seems ok, I've replaced the 2 bottom motor mounts and the rear motor mount, the upper engine mounts appear to be intact so it's a mystery.
      Could the transmission make a clunk and and vibration too or is it likely something else? It's a manual transmission.

    • @TutorialGenius
      @TutorialGenius  3 місяці тому +1

      If the motor mounts are ok, then it'll probably be a U-joint or CV joint of some sort.
      I have a videos on replacing pretty much all components containing those things on this car.
      If I usually can't figure something out, I've tried a small camera under the car a few times, but usually I can get a friend to put their ear near the problem while I do some accelerations.
      You probably want a diagnosis without throwing parts at it.
      good luck!

      if there is absolutely no play, have you considered the mounts? engine and transmission?
