It can be damaged, doesn't matter when you replaced it, probability is low, but IS there. Or installed wrong. >> INSPECT YOUR AXLES << .. its not that I'm angry, its 'cuz you ask without first looking for an answer yourself. How can we diagnose "clunking" over the internet ? .. Be more responsible with your car.

I'd say an axle or ball-joint for sure. Maybe somthings just rubbing on the spindle when you turn left?

Hard to diagnose online, but those are my guesses.

You need to purchase from Honda.

53010-SS0-000 .. Rack End Set .. ~ $ 50.00
53534-SL4-J01 .. Tie-Rod Dust Seal .. ~ $ 20.00
53560-SS0-003 .. Tie-Rod end (drivers ) .. ~ $ 50.00

Pull old out, install new.

those are actual Honda parts numbers for your car. That is just for one side ( drivers ). Orieleys is aftermarket, best to go with OEM Honda, best fitment and quality.

makes sense, especially if you're leaking grease from that area - that seal is probably close to dry. When installing new seal, you have to apply new grease inside the boot, ask dealer what they recommend if they don't supply you with it, you can purchase the grease from Orielys.
