Good day,
I'm a student and member of the Canadian Forces, originally from Newofundland and now (Somewhat unfortunately.:P) stationed in Kingston, Ontario. I just picked up a 1989 Accord LX - Carbeurated with the 2.0L and 4spd auto, completely rust free with 143000km on it.
Figured I'd throw up a couple pictures and ask a question that's been puzzling me. Is there a common problem with the clocks in the dash with this gen. of accord? Mine cuts in and out, but still keeps time.. And I have driven another '89 (EXI) that was the same!
As well, there's a little rattle coming from the front end. Doesn't sounds like ball joints or anything too serious, only happens when going straight over bumps. Haven't checked to see if the brake pads are rattling around there. Is there a bushing of some sort that tends to go in the front ends of these cars? The sound only comes from under the driver's side front wheel.
Here's a couple photos!
