I recently bought a 1990 Honda Accord EX 5-speed for a commute car.

Everything is fine except it makes a *glock glock glock glock* noise whenever I turn right. It goes away when I go straight.

The sound seems like its comming from the suspension or where the axle is.

What would cause this to happen?

 

Sounds like a cv boot issue to me, jack the car up and take a look. See if the cv boot is torn, spitting grease, etc. Even if it's not torn, it could still be going bad. Just go to Autozone and get a remanufactured half-shaft, then turn in the bad one and collect your core charge. It's an easy fix, B18C5-EH2 and IN VTEC have some good how-to's for the civic and integraon replacing the axle and popping the ball joint.

Also, if i remember right, if it's making the knocking sound while turning in one direction, it's actually the opposite side that is going bad. So in this case, I think your left side cv boot is torn/unlubricated.

 

If it's already clicking, then the problem has no longer just the boot, but the CV joint itself.

 

Yup. CV Joints, boots and axles were gone.

Just got them replaced as well as my Brake Master Cylinder and the car drives SO much better.
