There is a loud clicking noise coming from my front right wheel when I turn right on my 93 Civic Coupe. I checked the CV boot and they weren't torn or anything wrong with them. The only thing I see that might be the problem is a torn bushing that is in the control arm that connects to the fork of the shock. Could that be the problem that is making the loud a** noise or something else?

Give me suggestions. By the way, my alignment is pretty off also if that should matter.

Thanks

That bushing could be it, but I would also check your tie rod ball joints as well (check the rubber boot for tearing and the ball joint for accessive play). I know you have a Honda, but my dad's Neon is doing the same thing on right turns and it turned out to be the driverside tie rod ball joint.

If you haven't done so already:

Jack up the front of your car until the wheels are off the ground. Leave the wheels on your car and try to move the wheels back and forth while holding the tire at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock....and do the same at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock....Listen for clicking or knocking noises and where it's coming from, if any. Do this for the driver and passenger side. Good luck.

replace your bushing and it should go away... had same problem, put ES bushings, no clunking and car is more stable... used to be all gooey an **** when i first got it

I have the same problem. I thought it was my axle.

hmmmmm

Is it low speed clicking or any speed clicking is the clicking faster when you drive faster,

2 possible solutions if it varies with speed it is the axle, if is is only slow speeds and when you turn the wheel its probly ball joints try to get a syringe and stick some grease in there see if it goes away

My buddy has the same prob., it was his CV shaft.
A good idea to do the vertical and horizontal wheel shake mentioned above.
