clicking noise when turning right, but not left?!?!
it only clicks when i take a right turn and when i go straight, it will click occasionally. on left turns, it doesnt click at all. also, neither of the axle boots are busted or worn at all. the right side lower balljoint is busted, but the noise is coming from the front left side of the car ('92 integra). nothing is rubbing against the wheel and none of the suspension components appear bent at all. went i put the car up on jackstands and turned the wheel, it didnt click at all. it doesnt sound like the quieter sound of cv clicking, but it is high pitched clicking. my ps is disconnected, but there is no problem turning. i will get it aligned tommorrow, but i doubt this is going to help. this is about all i know. from what i have describe could anybody point me in the right direction?

damn - it turns out it was the brake shield thing was rubbing against something when i turned too far to the right. visually, it didnt look like it was hitting anything, but we bent it back and that annoying clicking is gone. it had the clicking of a cv joint, but much higher pitched, and i was about to waste money on new cvs in a couple of days! - i appreciate the suggestion though man - all the honda guys i knew who didnt ride in my car said "you need new cvs" as soon as i said the word "clicking".
