<![CDATA[clicking noise = very confused]]>Whats going on Members ??.... I have a question to ask and I am very confused and frustrated, here is my problem....In 3rd and 4th gear past 2500 RPM - about 4000 RPM, anything past 4000 RPM the noise stops, I get this clicking noise it sounds like metal on metal hitting, (think of the sound of like a piston hitting the cylinder walls type of noise), it will stop when I move the steering wheel, I jacked up the car on the front LCA's to check the wheel bearing and my wheel is nice and tight, so im thinking it may not be a wheel bearing, but I may be wrong, I had replaced my lower ball joints (Driver and Passanger side) and the driver side outer tie rod end, hoping this would fix the clicking noise, but it did not, my boot on the upper ball joint is torn, but IDK if that could causing a clicking noise sound, I replaced Both DS and PS Axels about 5,000 miles ago, and the boots are fine and not torn, when i got the car I had KYB GR2 struts with an Eibach Pro Kit, and it didn't make the noise with that suspension setup in the car, it started when I switched to the suspension I have now, which is Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustable's and Neuspeed Race springs (out of a 92-95 Civic, Since the suspension is the same)

I am very confused and don't know what to do, any info would be very helpful and appreciated
Thank you

Probably vavle ticking. I have the problem to but I checked the valve lash and have none. It does go away after 4K rpm like yours so it may be the same thing.

uh.... so you were checking/setting valve lash on hydraulic lifters.... sweet
