i drive a 96 lx accord, I've got this clicking sound coming from the steering wheel right by the gas and brake pedals each time i turn. i know my passenger front axle needs to be changed, but the noise does not sound like as if the CV boots been broken or anything it probably skipped that part. I was wondering if anybody knows what it might be...other than an axle problem?

 

well like u said other then the axle... im just taking a guess, but i would say the steering box.

 

I think there is a U-joint around there. The joint could be loose or dry. Could a piece of plastic or a wire, or something, be rubbing against the joint? Kind of a card in the spokes sort of thing?

 

wow yeah...now that you mention that....it does sound like the joints...and it does seem to be clicking when i turn cuz it mite not be oiled or sumthing enough...imma get it checked tomorrow....does that pose a serious problem?

 

i just went to ask a pro.... he said that the U-joint is only on rear wheel drive cars...

clicking means replace the axle...........and no FWD cars dont have U Joints, they have CV Joints.........

 

i found out it was the rack today......the steering gear....

 

Rack And Pinion Fixed TODAY, car aligned with new tires and rims.....another problem....SHOX WENT OUT ON ME.....back to the shop tomorrow.....

 

tsk tsk tsk...
