Noise when turning ??
Hi all, recently I started experiencing some noise from my right suspension when turning while driving at very low speeds. Its a creaking sound. I am lowered on Neuspeed springs with konis. There has only been coil binding noises since, but over the last few days this other noise surfaced. I jacked my car and found alot of grease leaking from my CV joint boot cover. Could it be my CV joint is whacked ? Will replacing the boot and repacking it with grease do any good ? I believe it shouldn't be a suspension problem for I have been driving on the Neuspeeds and konis for sometime with no such sound occurrences. Unless my upper mount bearings are spoilt. Anyone facing such a problem ? Please advise.

Rep Power: 351 It might be your actual power steering mechanism. Had basically the same thing happen with another of my cars (not the vic) and I was sure that it was the CV joint. Turns out it was the power steering and I had to get that replaced. Hopefully its under warranty for you still, it ran $1300 for a 98 528i BMW.

You will hear a slight ticking sound whenever you made a turn when the CV boots are needing to be replace. If you see a lot of grease around the boot then definitely you need to replace the boot.

I guess this is where the car starts to require major repairs. Now you know why its 3 years or 100k km whichever first.

I'm thinking about going to a different Honda dealership and seeing what they say. Because this **** should be under warranty. But then again, they might say something gay about my sway bars or something dumb
