Default clicking noise when turning!?

I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this.

'91 CRX hf with DOHC ZC and Si tranny. I have a rapid clicking noise when accelerating out of a turn. I don't have a place I can put the car up to thoroughly check it out and was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on what the problem might be. I have a few theories, but nothing solid.
Thanks

p.s. - also, if anyone knows of a "online" junk yard, I need a few miscellaneous interior parts as my car was broken into and CD player was literally ripped out, destroying everything attached to it.

If the tie rods are overtightend (like mine) you'll get a clicking. I believe the correct torque is 32 ft-lbs.
