Default Help!! Possible Susp. problem?

Hey guys. My 96 gsr is making like a clank or click noise whenever i accelerate from a stop or brake or brake hard. Its annoying me. I can hear it coming from my front driver side wheel/suspension i think. It makes like a knock noise something like that (hard to describe). Its very noticeable to hear when your inside driver side. It doesnt make noise all the time, only when i accelerate from a stop at 1st gear or brake sometimes hard.

i'd make sure your lug nuts are all tightened cause if they aren't it'll make noise since the tire isn't on tight. if thats not it then take off your tire and check your axles i guess that'd be the next thing i'd look at.

Thanks Spoon. Well checked wheels and they are good and checked the axles and the boots are in good shape. Any others ideas?

sway bar bushings, end links and control arm bushings will make that noise among other things. check the condition of all your suspension bushings and make sure the bolts are all tight.
