Default Knocking noise when i turn.

When i turn my wheel when im moving around 5mph o hear a knocking noise coming from my passenger side wheel well it sounds like a double knock when i turn but it doesnt sound like a clicking noise an axle would make... i sounds really annoying im guessing its the steering rack maybe?

agreed, sounds like your CV joint. i just changed my pass. side axle. That axle nut is a bitch, i messed up my hand tryin to use a breaker bar. i ended up paying a garage to loosen mine with an impact gun. If ur gonna change it yourself check out this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=382416

My car is doing the exact same thing...
but what causes the CV joint to wear out...i've already broken the axle in half.
cause my Dad is probably gonna find a way to either blame it on my rims, tires, or smoke shows.

CV Joints wear out when the boot holding all the grease gets torn allowing dirt and other crap to screw up the joint. Bigger rims over stock would stretch the boot farther b/c the axle is at a greater angle than with stock wheels. This could allow it to wear faster i guess.
