2003 LX, odd noise, clunk noise when in second gear and turning right

Honda civic 2003 LX manual transmission .

hi guys I would need some help here or some info! here's the problem: when I'm in second gear only and turning right its making a clunk noise like a front axle shaft noise, not like any other noise in suspension or direction , both axles have been change in the last year so I'm kind of worry about this , haven't seen anything suspicious so I was wondering if any of you had this problem in the past . thanks for any info that could help , I don't want to go to the dealer or any garage so your help would be really appreciated . Thanks !!

jack it up and start moving/prying bits of suspension and the axle see if anything makes noise?

Re: 2003 LX, odd noise, clunk noise when in second gear and turning right

You didn’t mention you tried....
Driving in a circle in a parking lot.. is noise only present when in second gear
While in second gear and going in a circle, press in clutch.. is noise still going on
While driving in circle, put car in neutral and coast in circle, any noises still?

if your still only hearing the noise while only in second gear, would take a close look at your shift linkages, possibly your not fully engaging second gear and your getting erratic gear movement.

I would also take a Look at the transmission fluid, make sure you can open the fill port before you drain it.
