Hey guys i have an '04 coupe MT. for the past 3 months I've had this clicking/thudding sound coming from the front of my car. I think it might be from the engine bay. It only happens when I'm in first gear, taking off. There are 2 metal thuds coming from the car every time. I took it to the dealer and they said it was my intake grinding against the AC line. ive had the intake for a year and ive never had this problem. they suggested i insulate the space between the intake an AC line so i ziptied a piece of sponge there and the noise is still there, loud as ever. Anybody know what this could be? It might be a coincidence, but the noise started happening around the time I got my Nismo replica bumper installed. Thanks in advance!

 

please help this poor man!

 

are u sured is coming from the front.and is not the rear axle making that noise

 

yes, positive. i had that problem a couple years ago and had it fixed. Sound is most definitely coming from the front of the car

 

check your motor mount.put the car in gear and power brake and see if the engine move up and down and wat side moves.gl

 

OP's Dealer did give good advise about intake rubbing against A/C line and to protect the line, but for it to be that noise...:chuckle:

If not motor/tranny mounts, which was a very good sugestion, maybe your compression rods in front suspension
