Well i lowered my civ like 2.5 inches or so on monday...... i got everything all even and balanced and made sure everything was tight and put on properly. Now wen i put it into reverse and release the clutch,i get this weird methodical clicking type noise. It goes along with that weird noise that already happens wen u put it into reverse, not sure how to explain it but u all kno what im talking about lol. the clicking sounds like something is rubbing the plastic wheel well thingy, but there is no rubbing at all and its impossible because there is a good 2 inches of clearence all around the wheel (only stock 14's) the weird thing is, is that it only happens wen i realease the clutch in reverse.....going forward there is no noise at all and reverse with clutch compressed there is no noise either......Im thinkin that its something clutch related, but the noise wasnt there prior to it being lowered so im puttin it in the suspension section. its comin from only the front passenger wheel and im stumped cuz the clutch is on the drivers side if im not mistaken lol im really confused and any suggestions would be great. It doesnt sound like something is broken or anything its just embarrassing when i back up.........thanks 4 the input

 

Does it sound like its in the rear?

 

nope dead middle under the hood......i have no idea what it is.....P.S i saw u at the mall today but u didnt see my head nodding lol

 

Really? haha thats funny, I didn't see you. Yeah idunno what it is if its under the hood. I have wierd noises in reverse too, but its near my back wheels. thats why im getting new struts soon.

 

nobody has any idea what it is???? i was hoping it was gonna b a common problem lol

 

did you put a coilover as a lowering kit? if so, what brand?

 

lol yes sir.....coilovers....BOMZ coilovers...aka ebay pogo sticks lol but they get the job done

 

i'm having the same problem with my 01...
I thought it might just be the alignment...or perhaps a bubble in my front right tire...but come to find out, its the hub bearings...
I'm still learning about the internals of my car....but thats what i know about the weird sound...

 

yea my tohught was a bearing of somesort, bearing a new weight load or something, thanks for the confirmation. Did u investigate the cost for the bearing's itself or a install price???

 

yea i found out its gonna be about 581 for the bearings and then the labor and alignment....
freakin sucks too cause i just spent 700 on yoko tires yesterday
