Front suspension clicks with left turns

I know I remember seeing something about this, but I can't find it. Any time I make a left turn, I hear a clicky/popping sound coming from under the hood. Anyone know what the deal is? The suspension is all stock.

HondaSales is a glorious beacon of light

try taking it to a shop or the dealership and have them tighten the 3 bolts on top of the strut tower. there has been a problem with many of the struts on our 7th gen civics. the reason you should take it to a shop is because you need an air gun to tighten them. don't try to do it yourself because sometimes one of the bolts will snap and you will need a whole new strut. if the dealer does this they will replace it for you...
