Default bad sound when turning??

have a 1994 Honda civic ex coupe I was driving yesterday and hit this random dip in the free way and slammed my car. Got home and didn't think anything of it. Today i was back on the free way and was turning slightly from the road and hear this loud knocking noise coming my axle or something right below me and it only makes this sound when turning at high speed but quiets down when turning at low speeds? any thoughts on the problem?, Thanks

knocking or clicking? May have possibly done something to the cv joints in your axle. Would explain why you hear it while turning.

Jack up your car and check the suspension components and axles out. Torn cv boot? Check for broken, bent or loose parts.

Ripped the tie rod boot. They're like $10 on rockauto.com, but they're a slight pain to actually put on. If you do it yourself, make sure to clean that grease out and put in some clean. You could also get a new tie rod if you want. They're cheap enough and you'll be right there.

Also, next time you're looking at that, check to see if there's a lot of dirt/rocks up in that grease. That may have been like that for awhile before the hit.
