sounds like a cv joint. check the boots for being torn and the joints being dry.

Re: hear a noise when im turning

one of my brothers knows someone who works at a honda dealership and he was able to tell me that he thinks that it is the cv boots and told me that i would have to replace them. Is this easy to do? is there a diy for this? and which brand would you guys recommend? thanks in advance

its alot of $$ and takes time. if you dont know how, just take it to a shop. and yeah you need to replace the joint and boots. usually if the boot is torn, the joint is already messed up.
