Default Help 1993 Accord Clicking while turning left and sometimes right

I replaced the left and right CV axle assembly but the car is still clicking mostly turning to the right...

Any ideas, The right axle was shot... did the left just because I had the car on the hoist!!!

Put the car back on the hoist (unload the wheels) and check the lower ball joints for any sign of slop or play. If present, this is cause for immediate concern!

Remove tire and check the upper ball joint and upper control arm bushings (these often start to crack after 18+ years.

Check main spring for breaks - rare but not unheard of.

Are steering pushrod boots in good shape? No dirt in the rack and pinion area?

???

I will do those things next time I have the hoist available... They all sound pretty easy to replace. I have to do a pan gasket and front brake pads also!!!
