Can't Figure Out What's Wrong (multiple Problems)

Hey guys,

I own a 2007 Honda Civic automatic. I'm new to owning my own car. (usually I would drive a company car that would continually get checked for maintenance so I wouldn't have to worry about anything) Anyway, I notice that when I'm driving on the highway 60mph and above sometimes I feel as if I lose slight control of the car and then quickly regain control. It is hard to explain. All I know is that I didn't have this problem when I bought the car.

Before this happened to me, it turned out that my rear tire was flat and I ended up losing the tire. (while driving) Also whenever I'm turning I'm hearing a slight clicking noise that is continuous. Once I straighten the wheel the noise goes away. Anyone have any idea what this could be and if I should take it to the shop to fix it?

Anyway these problems are interrelated? I just want to hear people's opinion as I have never owned a honda before this.

Clicking sound while turning is generally a problem with the CV joint.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Gust of wind?

That says a lot.

Maybe you are super-sensitive to all unusual feelings now?
(This happened with my ex after she hit a patch of ice on a bridge on an interstate and went spinning down into the median at the end of the bridge.)

a slight clicking noise
That described axle/CV joint issues.

fadypolus, create your own thread, don't bring old threads from the dead and worse, they are unrelated to your issues.
