Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2007'99 CR-V Front End Clunking Noise.
1999 CR-V, 93k, has a clunking-like noise from front end when going over bumps, etc. Have replaced the sway-bar links and yesterday replaced the upper arm flange bolts. Seems like noise is now worse after flange bolt replacement. I did the body sealant scraping and torqued them to 73 Nm (54 Ft.lb or 648 inch lb). My torque wrench measures in inch lbs and I am assuming my math was correct in converting. Any suggestions on other possibilities? I am going to check the shock mounting bolts as soon as the wife gets home with the vehicle.

TIA. ================================= You got the flange bolts idea from the TSB ? http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/crv/index.html The shock mounting bolts sounds like a good next step. I can't say about your math . . my converter doesn't handle that one. Honda's torque sounds LOW. I probably did mine to about 80. Did you check the bolts #17 in this drawing: > http://preview.tinyurl.com/2f23lv I had a few loose ones . . . 'Curly' > You got the flange bolts idea from the TSB ? Yes, came across it while doing a search on CR-V front end noise and that's also where I got my torque value: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/crv/x98-050e.pdf > http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/crv/index.html > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > I had a few loose ones . . . I thought that sounded low too but that's what the TSB said and I checked my values against this online converter and it seems to agree but it does seem low. http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/torque I'll call the Honda dealer where I got my bolts and check with them and I'll get on those bolts in the link you provived.

Thank you. Tech at the Honda dealer claims it's 40 ft lbs, TSB says 54. Maybe I should add them together. ;) > Tech at the Honda dealer claims it's 40 ft lbs, TSB says 54. Maybe I > should add them together. ;) What's the range of your torque wrench? If you're close to the max of the range at 648 in lbs, you may be getting inaccurate and insufficient torque on the bolts. Why don't you get a ft lb wrench? Beam types are cheap and pretty accurate for stuff like this.  SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ > > Tech at the Honda dealer claims it's 40 ft lbs, TSB says 54.
