So I have a tiny problem, On my 97 LX v6 I have noticed wearing on the outside of the front passenger side tire. I have a weird noise coming from that area everytime I turn, its not a clicking noise like some have a said a torn cv would make. Its more of a popping noise, like something is forced into place. Its only when I turn the steering wheel fully to the left, right, or taking a turn hard.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what was it and what do I need to do???

I have a camber kit on it and aligned it almost a year ago. You think this popping noise would have anything to do with my alignment?? All the other three tires are fine.

 

ball joints can pop, check your joints out and you might want to

1. check your strut tower bushing
2. Tie Rod ends
3. Upper and lower ball joints
4. Struts
5. Control rod bushings
6. A arm bushings


you basically need to check very thing out on that side....

 

a couple of people have said ball joint......after I check, is this a DIY job or something that ill have to take to a dealer?

any other accords have/had this problem?

 

on top of YEU advice, you might also want to chk the p/s rack mounting bushings, make sure they are not worn and holders are tight ,,, if worn or loose the p/s rack will shift to 1 side or the other when you take a full or hard turn

also have the car realigned ,, the outer tire wear is caused by too much positive camber
