Ok heres the situation: There is a loud thump coming from the driver wheel well area. Only when there is pressure(meaning its moving). I had the car jacked up and nothin happened but as soon as i turned it while drivin Thump Thump Thump and the tighter it was turned the more often it thumped. It wont do it while drivin straight but on any turn THUMP. NO ratlles, NO pings, NO other noise but a nasty thump.

My guess is either the tie rods and ball joints or strut damper assembly.

Car: 1992 Civic Hatch with LS swap with KYB struts and eibach prokit

Any help will be appreciated guys.
Thanks

Yeah, a clicking would suggest CV joints. Is it in only one direction or both?

its a thump not the usual click from the cv its a really loud thump. I just looked at it again it sounds as if its somethin moving maybe axel thats gettin caught (thump) then goes again. Could i have cracked my cv joint or somethin?

I wish I could man. I'm really not that in the know. I just suggested the CVs since I had to have them changed in my honda. How low are you riding? Maybe wheel rub in the turns?

Its only dropped as far as the prokit drops it which is like 1' 1/2'' so its not that. Right now i think its the tie rod ends. More specifically the passenger side. there is play there and more than there should be.

I could see that being a possiblity. I just read that you said prokit before, sorry. I was actually gonna order those springs, haha. Unless you're failry comfortable with working on those components, I would check it into a shop. I kow I'm not and the idea of something being wrong with that important of a component makes me nervous. BUMP FOR ADVICE FOR THIS GUY!!
