Honda CRV 2002 Knocking sound Front passengers side

[Dan]

Hi Guys.. I found a similar sound in youtube regarding a knocking sound.. the sound mostly appears if you’re driving on a steep hill going up and the roads is uneven.. It also appears if rough driving on a very rough road.. but on humps.. and pot holes big or small the knocking sound sometimes there and sometimes none.. Even driving on a ashphalt road as long as the road is bouncy sometimes the knocking sound is there and sometimes not..

Replaced:

Engine mounts ( except the passengers side )
Right lower control arm bushing
Stabilizer links
Sway bar bushings

Planning to replace my engine mount tomorrow but do you have an idea what else to check. Thanks!

Video link for sound reference. Almost the same sound… And you can feel the vibration on the car flooring too sometime. Thanks!

Sounds like you have a loose bolt/nut, blown bushing, broken end link, etc. Put it on ramps, get under there and inspect everything visually. If you don’t see anything, start moving everything with a pry bar.

From the video, to me it sounds like the exhaust is hitting the floor.

Check the exhaust hangers, and see that all the exhaust components are securely clamped and properly aligned.
