91' dx wagon axle noise
peanut
Band Wagon
I've been experiencing some shaking during acceleration from about 50mph and up. I've gone to a few different people for advice, put hub centric rings on my wheels, but it still seems to persist. The hubrings did seem to make it a bit better, but its still there. I've noticed that when I jack the front of the car up and just rotate the front drivers side wheel by hand im hearing a clunking/rattling noise.(doesn't happen when I rotate the passenger side drive wheel) This noise has existed when I had the standard DX knuckles and brakes as well as with my new DA integra knuckles/brakes. I feel like the noise is in the axle, and that its probably related to the shaking. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or if the noise is unrelated and normal. Feel free to yell at me if I haven't searched hard enough, but most of what I saw was pertaining to rt4wd wagons.

with the wheel jacked up and the lugs tight, see if the tire has any play in it at all.
it should be 100% rigid and solid.
also check your axle nut is tight.
if all those things are good, grab the axle and see if theres any play in it. Most of the time when i had axles go bad, they would do the same thing. Shake really bad on accel, pop in the corners.
