Knock When Coasting

Hello, I have a 98 Civic DX 5 spd that has a knock when I am coasting.
It stops when I brake, or accelerate, or if I press in the clutch.
Does anybody have any Idea what this could be? I have heard it can be
the bearings, cv joints, or a warped rotor. The car also sorta rumbles
if I accelerate too much in 1st gear. Any help on this would be
really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

 

check your motor mounts.

If the timing is not set correctly--it can cause pinging and knocking
problems.

 

I vote for the CV joints. Basic inspection is easy, but there have been a
lot of reports of noisy CV joints in Hondas without the boots being torn.
Raising one front wheel at a time and rotating the wheel while feeling
carefully for lumpiness may offer a clue. I'd turn my attention away from
the bearings because the noise is dependent on the torque, and bearings
typically don't care about that.

I might vote for the inner CV joints, since they flex so little they
don't show up the way the outers do. A google (groups) search might find
lots more.

or loose lug nuts

 

Good point - uncommon enough to be overlooked, easy to check and a real
nightmare if left unfixed.
