Default clicking when turning under power

Hello all, I have a 1997 honda Civic Manual power 184K miles on it.

When I turn under power say like 2nd gear (parking lot turns, not slight turns) or so I hear this clicking noise in the front wheel area. What is that?? I have had that problem before with a previous Accord that I had had (1984).

I'm sure this may be a common problem??

Thanks for any help....

Check the axle CV joints.

Also, pop the hood and push down on the fenders... My strut mounts have broken and my strut bushings will pop up and click during corners and small bumps.

heres what it looks like:



If that is the problem, recommend just getting a whole axle, more expensive, but alot easier.
