Since I have been driving the CRX, I have a clunking noise when I hit a bump. The noise sounds like it is coming from the firewall. I have replaced all the front suspension, and have tightened all the bolts I can find. Any suggestions?

Good chance it's the steering rack bushing. Honda's are notorious for this.

I checked the bolts last night. And they were tight.

Seti is saying to replace the bushing. What front suspension do you have? Is it possible you have a DA integra setup with the DA upper arms?

BTW the CRX in your avatar could use some shocks.

I have a stock setup right now.

could be
upper strut plates.
stab bar link kits
bad engine mount(rubber)manifold hitting fire wall

The noise is down low towards the middle of the firewall. Does anyone have a diagram of the steering rack bushings?

That is totally what I wasn't expecting those to be. I was under the impression they were under where the rack bolts down. These would make a clunking noise on a bump?

Very likely. Also very noticeable on a bumpy road at low speed.

You can test this. Yank your steering wheel left to right a couple of times. If you feel a little bit of play, or a little hint of a clunking noise, they're really starting to go bad. But usually it takes more force than you can generate by hand.

What happens if I let it go and not replace the bushings?
