    My 1989 Prelude recently had it's engine replaced.

    Now, when starting from a stop, it's clunking while accelerating.
    When not accelerating, no clunking.

    It's only at very low speeds, and is not confined to a direction. It
    happens when turning either left or right.

    Any ideas? Do I need the engine lifted and reset?

    CVJ is bad. Replace drive shaft.

    Where does the clunking come from, front or rear? If it's front it's most
    likely the CV joints, if in the back it could be a lot of things including
    shocks/struts, springs and bushings. I'll be lifting mine this weekend
    probably since there's clunking from the back when accelerating/stopping
    from a stop and turning. Seems like it's the shock/strut.

    It's coming from the front.

    How big a job is it? I don't have a lift, the best I can do is ramps. $$$?
