Default Need help again..

I have a b16a1 in a 2nd gen crx. I had my exhaust fixed today and looked up underneath cause I kept hearing this clunking sound when I turn. Iam not sure if its the axles or if its cause I have integra front brakes cause I know those you have to swap a-arms or somthing. Anyways the axles are at a angle. Iam not sure if its the axles that need to be replaced or it has somthing to do with me needing motor mounts. Not 100% but aren't they suppose to be straight left to right? What year and make axles do I need to replace these if it is the cv's?

If it is coming from the middle, ie. around the shifter it is probably your exhaust shaking around hitting shit. My crx did this also. If it is a clicking kind of sound that would be the CVs going out.

depends on the intermediate shaft. There are several ways to do it.

I have fluild coming out of my intermediate shaft and clunking sound when I turn and when I drive a grinding sound really quiet unelss your hearing for it. Kinda sounds like when your rotors are bad and you hear a grinding sound. Its a mess right now. But I need to know what to do so I can get it fixed.

Oil leak is probably a tranny seal. Not that big of a deal, part is like $7-$10. Unless the bearing goes out, intermediate shafts don't go bad so there is no reason to replace it.

I'd have to hear the sound to tell you what to do.

well I found out from looking under neath at my shop since I have a lift and the axles are rubing on the arm where the struts and springs go. I have integra front brakes. The leak is a tranny. So iam not sure if I should just go back with crx front brakes or what? It looks like he grinded some of the arm so that the axles wouldn't rub but not enough
