90 ex accord makes clicking noise on right turns. the noise is not present on straight aways. Any idea what i have to replace to get it back to optimal working condition?

I believe this is a pretty common problem with accords. My first accord had the same problem, brought it to an old school mechanic and he took care of it for me. forgot to find out what was the problem. plus it was a long time age too.

 

its your right side axel probably

 

I think its the left one actually

 

So replacement of the axle should fix the noise? Any input on the difficulty and is it DIY project?

 

torn boot

 

torn boot could have caused this but you just cant replace the boot now you have to replace the whole axle

damn it. is this a DYI project?

 

sure take off the wheel,

take off the bottom fork for the damper, and disconect the spindel from the tie rod(i think thats were it attaches), take off the big axel nut and pull it out, repeat it in reverse

 

Your CV joint is most likely trashed. Those are classic symptoms, and it will get progressively worse. If just the boot is torn, its time left is probably limited anyway and you should replace them both regardless. Especially with how cheap replacements are these days.

 

Re-Manufactured axles are like $60 at CarQuest or AutoZone after you return the bad axle. It's a fairly straight forward install...that can be done in a couple of hours for a first timer. Good luck man.

YEA?! saw an ad in the marketplace forum for 340.00 OEM for both axles. For $60 each, I'm definately going with remanufactured.

Any one have access to DIY instructions and pictures?

 

i've seen people break ratchets from trying to take off the axle nut...
