Default bought 91 accord ex was in need of 4 door for new baby girl

10 mos. so far so good.

it has some primer on it but sh so what..
186k on the clock, a little puff of smoke when you put
the hammer down, but that's ok. still really a fun ride.
thanks to this forum i succesfully changed out a radiator,
and soldered cracks in my main relay, start now all the time.

now its onto front suspension. i hear a clunk clunk over rough terrain.
any ideas? are they struts in front or shocks? brand?

thanks

Welcome.....Thanks for joining.

"clunk"- well that is going to take a small investigation. If you don't have a manual, I suggest getting one.

Check the bushings for signs of wear...or missing. Sway bar links, strut rod-just under rad, lower arm, upper arm, ect.....

There are struts frt and rear. Brands, well depends on what you want. Stock set up....KYB, Monroe are a few I trust.

Again Welcome.

EDIT-PS congrats on the "baby girl"

Default thanks for the welcome mat!

well fun ride for short (so far) money.
and an ex as well, power everything and they all work!
knock on formica...

Wife's '03 passenger lock wiggles,
sometimes unlocks, mostly makes noise but no unlock...
when unlock atempted with remote or button or key or on the pass. door
itself. Going to try grease and latch points before opening up panel.

Which do we want to start with, personally a "clunk" in the suspension would be mine....of course the wife's locks might win

For her's-Sorry but I'm thinking the the door panel is going to have to come off to figure out the issue- and I'm assuming this is an 03 Accord?

The clunk-we gave some starters.
