:unsure: So there is a noise that sound like its coming from the front driver suspension area. It sounds like metal being tore apart or separating. Or maybe even something cracking. It happens for a quick second if i shift hard and does it the worst in 1st gear when i just floor it. in 1st it will make the noise a couple of times. Basically whenever there is large amounts of torque applied it makes this nasty noise. The car is a 1999 civic coupe ej8 with a b18c1. I know its nothing from the engine cause it doesn’t do it at higher speeds and only does it in lower gears when there is more torque. I’ve replaced the CV axle on that side and i have re-tightened every bolt in sight on the suspension and the sub frame. I’ve look at everything and still cant seem to find it, any ideas?

The lady across the street from me has one of those baby minivans. Every time she leaves I hear it buzzing away. Something is hitting or loose. I suspect the exhaust is loose.
I’d suggest you crawl under and shake the exhaust in its mounts. If you hear metal to metal noise you’ve found the problem. Sometimes it can be exhaust shields and they may be loose only when the exhaust is hot or cold.
