Honda is BS'in me?

Ok well I had some suspension problems after I got my car lowered. Took it to Honda and they fixed all that. But there was still a problem with steering. When I would turn the wheel, it would make a clicking or clunking noise.

They said the only way they could fix it, is raising the car up .5" which is bullshit cause my car is only lowered like 1.5"

This sounds like they are just looking for a quick fix. They have had my car over a month... And they charged me $200 something dollars to take the springs off and grease them, but I got all new shocks for free

Does it only happen once? Like if your wheel is centered and you turn it all the way to the left it does it once, and then back to the right and it does it again? If so, then it might be bad CV joints. Mine has the same problem...When I turn to the right or left at a certain point you can hear and feel a little pop sound.

Check your CV boots to see if they are leaking and torn. You will notice black grease all over the inside of your wheel if its leaking.

No if I keep turning the wheel both ways, it keeps doing it.

As I hear alot of people on the supension thread say, it could be the suspension indexing?

I don't have my car. I can't check anything. Honda has got it and I guess they're troubleshooting and looking for the problem.

the spring is not set right. this was a big problem for all of us when we lowerd our cars. this has been coverd way to many time so im going to close it. you can do a search and you will find lots of fix's for it. main one is to make sure the springs a lined up correctly.
