Car Clunks when going over speed bumps.

[Daves_X]

Hello I just baught my 95 NSX-T back in Sept and I started to notice a clunk clunk sound when ever I go over a speed bump. I looked at some of the other threads on here and I saw some that went with shocks and others that went with something to do with the sub frame being loose. I took it to the dealer and got NO-Where after spending almost 500.00 to have it looked at. I live in the Fresno area, if anyone knows of a reputable place to have it looked at without ripping me off I wopuld appreciate it. Thank You.

I had the same issue. One of the bolts to the lower control arm to the body and the camber adjustment point was not tightened all the way. Most likely from the last alignment. I found the problem, well, I noticed it when I was about to remove it during my clutch change.

I had the same problem and it was also present during some turns. Turned out to be a lose bolt on the sway bar. The dealer tightened it up and the noise is gone.

I talked to my wife yesterday and she said to me that the rear end of the car seems to push forward when you are going over the speed bumps. Almost as if it is shifting. I read the post's from the other two individuals and I was wondering if that was something that the dealer should have picked up on. I just had the car aligned before I left and the right tire will not come into specs. The tire rides bad on the inside (camber). She has had it to Cush Acura in San Diego and they had it on the lift and cant find anything bent or loose. Any other ideas and help would be aprieciated. Thank You for your time.

It was my shocks. They where the original shocks from the day of purchase. I need new ones I was thinking about going with these. ScienceofSpeed Spec JIC Suspension

Anyone have any other Ideas. Please keep in mind I am in the military.

How do these ride? I spent allot of time in my car and dont want to feel every crack I run over.

when you get Bilstein, you'll never have to buy another set of shocks for the rest of your life. no joke.

i just hooked up one of my friend (nsxsupra) with a set of bilsteins and they are like night and day compared to stock. the ride is firm, yet smooth. very easy to drive with. none of that bouncy crap. it does not lean on turns.
