Knock and Jerking with Left turns.
When turning Left there is a knocking coming from the suspention sounding like its coming from the front-center of the car. Doesnt happen when turning right, and when going straight the steering jerks left right left right left right. When accelerating to the left it doesnt do it. Wtf is wrong with it? Cv joint? I know one of the Cv joints was replaced a few years before i owned the car. Thanks for the help. Oh yeah. 94 Civic Dx Hb.

Sounds to me like a problem I had with swaybar endlinks and sway bushings on my Eclipse.
Same thing here maybe?

maybe the tripod came out of the axle housing? jack the car up and see if you have alot of play in either axle,you should be able to twist the axle back and forth slightly but it should be tight.

CV joint is bad most likely i had a accord with knocking when i went around corners. Get down on and pull on your axle and tie rods if they are loose or shake around somethin is wrong....how many miles are on your car?

My vote for CV joint..but just replaced a few years ago...how many miles are on 'em? Shouldn't have gone so fast.
Sway bar bushings are another possibility...

I had the same problem with my GSX took me a bit to figure out what it was O.o.
Though I still vote for CV joint b4 a swaybar bushing.

i would check all of the bolts for the suspension first. make sure they are as tight as you can possibly get them with an open-end wrench. then move on to axles or whatever else you see.

Re: Knock and Jerking with Left turns. (SkorchedAsh)
the new Cv only has 100,000ish but the old cv has 200,000ish Thats why i think its that, i will jack it up tonight and see whats going on, its getting worse every left turn. On a side question. how would a buddyclubfullcoilover+omni lowers+camberkit effect the wear of the drivetrain(cv joints, brakes, axles and such)
