Suspention noise
Ok so whenever I turn my wheel all the way to the right there is one loud clunking noise that comes from the wheel well and it clunks again when I turn it back. It is not the noise a broken axle makes kinda sound like the wheel is bouncing up in the wheel well one time and hitting the top. I cannot figure it out.

Edit: just thought about the CV joints. Might be worth taking a look at.

I have a similar issue, its only when I take a hard right so the car is pitched out with alot of weight on the front left, and I hear a clunk when it gets compressed; when it goes over a bump or a dip in the road. Maybe I just shouldn't be cornering that hard on less than perfect surfaces??

I have the same noise. No one can figure out what's making it.
Curry's in Sterling was totally clueless.
Considering taking it to the one in Chantilly cause they're a little more knowledgable about Honda/Acura and they're not snotty.
Anyhow, I hear there are a few things to check:
- Check lower ball joint
- Check the sway bar end links
- Check camber kit for play
I'll let everyone know if I get this fixed.

We're trying to find the CURE. We already know it's one of these:
- lower ball joint
- sway bar end links
- camber kit
Please read more of the thread before posting.
