So when i turn right to turn (not from stopping at a sign) or turn around a csharper corner i hear this nasty click click noise sounding like its coming from the right side of the car by the wheel etc... no idea whats wrong but just checking if anyone knows before i take it to honda mon or tuesday

thanks!

does it happen everytime you turn? If so, it sounds like a bad CV joint. But there could also be other things wrong.

Sounds like CV joint, maybe not, but it's common on Honda's with more than 75k, or really any FWD car with that kind of milage. I know on my old Accord it was around $200 to fix, prices may have gone up tad.

i'm gonna have to agree with the others and say it's most likely your CV joint. a lot of times this happens due to the rubber boot that surrounds it (and holds in the grease) cracking and exposing the joint to the elements.

just to give you an idea of how much the repair would cost for a CV joint... list price from honda is $104... so when you factor in part mark-up and labor, expect to pay $2-300.

yikes thats what happened to my old car. Didn't think that would break for a while on the civic tho.

i'd say it's a few steps above doing your front brakes... 'cause beyond the effort involved with that, you need to take off your spindle nut and pop out your lower ball joint to get access to the axle behind the hub.

so if your comfortable with that, than i'd say it's completely DIY-able.

the car has 82000k

i do have extended warranty though, wouldnt it be covered?

boo if i gotta pay 300 for this thing... ill kick their *****

if you have extended warranty, they should cover it. However if the boot is damaged exposing the joint, they wont cover it.

Even then, you may be able to hagle it, saying they put a defective boot on it.... worth a try

 
Rep Power: 318

Well defective might be the wrong word.... matbe saying you thought it was covered in the warranty or something.

Isn't that pretty much how all the CV joint go, don't think I've seen one go that had a good boot on it, suppose it can happen, just haven't seen it.

If it was just the brake dust shield, you could've bent it back yourself with a set of pliers FOR FREE!
