Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2007Two questions
I have a 97 accord with 49k miles on it 1- A sound like a spring is getting pressed and released (what is that sound called?) is produced from rear right corner of the car whenever it hits a bump. I did try the old fashioned shock test and the car doesnt keep on bouncing after I press the rear corner and release it. So can you think of a reason? 2- When I put the car into drive from park or neutral, it seems that the engine moves a bit(the car jerks very slightly) and there is a tiny bit of lag before the power starts going to the tires or so it seems? Is it that 97 accords are made that way or is there something wrong with the tranny? or is it just me :) Thanks, Wajahat > I have a 97 accord with 49k miles on it > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Thanks, > Wajahat ------------------------------------- Because of your vehicles age you should do a drain-n-fill of the tranny fluid anyhow, just be sure to use Honda Z1 ATF. The delay you describe is fairly normal. DO NOT let anybody 'power flush' it. SEARCH for the procedure. The noise you hear may be a worn out sway bar link, but doubtful at your mileage. Look at www.slhondaparts.com to see that part. You could just try spraying some silicone (or white lithium grease) on the sway bar bushings.

I guess silicone grease (like Syl-Glide would be good though).

Thank you ppl for your replies. I have a question if I want to check myself that the sway bar is ok or not what should I do? (I dont know much about cars :)). Should I take it to a mechanic to have it checked or is there a quick test that I can do on my own? Some time back the same sort of noise was also coming from the steering but for some odd reason it disappeared after the front brake change.
