Hey guys,
This question is'nt about a jeep, its about my mom's 2001 civic but i feel i'm allowed to ask it because i own an XJ and my mom has owned 3 XJ's herself in the past years. Anyway the car has 43,000 miles on it, its a lil honda motor with an auto trans. Problem is when she hits the brakes she here's a thump, not a loud clunk but a more subtle thump, and it only makes this noise once upon the initial pushing down of the brake pedal. She said that it also makes this noise while making very sharp left hand turns, as in pulling into a parking space or a driveway or such at very low speeds. She said when it makes the noise while turning it makes it constantly and not just once as with the brakes but it is the same noise she says coming from the same area (right front wheel area). I looked at it briefly and did'nt see anything out of the ordinary. She needs this vehicle and she really does'nt have the money to take it to honda and if we can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx much,
Eric
