Question Help!

Hey Guys,

I know this isn't Nissan related however my wifes car is making some serious noises after hitting a large pothole yesterday. It's a loud knocking noise coming from the front right wheel on a Honda CRV Sport 2002 (4x4). It's inaudible below 10kmph but after that the knock increases with speed. It almost sounds like a steam train at 60kmph!

I don't have any of my tools with me which makes diagnosing this a little difficult. I pulled the front right wheel off last night and tried to inspect however without a breaker bar I wasn't able to get the ball joints to move and couldn't see anything suspect. I did notice a few bushes were sagged and a leaky engine mount but I don't think they're related. I also tried to twist the wheel after I jacked up the car and there was no play, I also checked the front drive shafts and both had little play. This one has me a little stumped.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated, fingers crossed I don't need to drive this car 2000km home to work on it!

Thanks!

When you checked for play with the wheel up, did you check for play both side to side and up and down?

Sounds like a CV axle to me, my Hyundai Elantra made the same sound. Check the boots to make sure they're not torn and haven't started spitting their insides out.

Thanks for the reply, I replaced the half shaft assembly (inc CV) last night and the problems solved

I'm pretty surprised only 2 people offered help despite how many views this topic received. Thanks to the both of you, but very saddened this community is dying off
