Suspension problem
1997 Acura CL Engine Size unknown Four Wheel Drive Manual 140 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have been having problems with my car lately, every time i speed up, I hear this knocking and tearing noise. I don't know if its in the engine or in the wheel itself. I had it checked by a mechanic and told me that it might be on my [url=http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/shop_parts/axle_assembly/acura/cl.html]Acura CL axle[/url]. I didn't understand much of what he's trying to say since he speak poor English. How will I know if its really the axle? And is this difficult to repair? Please help! Thanks!

If it is the axle, you will probably notice the worst noise when doing some cornering. Does the noise appear when you hit the brakes after it appears on the acceleration?

I don't quite understand the tearing sound.
