I drove my car around a bit, got some food and such, bummed around for a bit and other fun stuff yesterday. I started driving back to Round Lake and my car started being not so fun to drive. When I would come to a curve to the left it was fine and when I would have to come out of the curve or continue to turn my wheel to the right I would feel a somewhat clicking sound. I could feel(hear) it with my foot on the pedal. When I first noticed it it seemed like it was comin' from the passenger side but one time I turned and had the clutch pressed in all the way and I felt it under my foot on the drivers side. My alignment was okay, I had a little play, not too much, though I still wasn't happy with it. I'm missin' work today in Downer's Grove because I don't have a ride.... So I'm thinkin' of startin' with the tie-rods and goin' from there. Is that a good/best place to start? What else do you think it could be? I appreicate, as always, any help/suggestion/reply and whatnot.

I am not famillar with integras, but I had the same problem recently on my accord. My problem was worn out swaybar endlink bushings (actually 1 was missing completely).

My noise was more of a clunk on turns and going over bumps, it gradually got worse.

 

It makes me uneasy when I drive it, if it's the axle or something I don't want to drive on it, if it's just a sway bar I'm sure driving on it, as long as it's not hard, won't be too bad until I can get it fixed.....

 

I drove around with no bushing for about a month, and I was babying her either, gotta love fast mountian roads.



But my problem may be different, mine was a definied CLUNK. Coming from right front side of the car.

 

My Integra did the same thing, both the front cv axles were bad, so I'd hear a continous click, click, click when I turned the wheel. Then I got both replaced it was fine.

If you get under the car, check out the cv boot. it should be completely sealed, if not that the cv axles isn't getting lubricated and will dry out and make that clicking sound.

Go into a parking lot and crank the steering wheel one direction and drive in a circle, if can hear/feel it clicking, thats most likely what it is.

 

If it's a constant clicking sound then you may have a bad CV joint. Replace the axle on that side and problem solved. See if the CV boot is torn also.
