Knocking sound while turning left

[cb7sk8rdude]

So as the title reads I have a knocking sound while turning left. I think it might be the drivers side cv joint ,but I am not for sure. The right axle shaft, and the upper control arms on both sides were replaced a few months ago. I have read about this on the forum and people are saying different things. So what do you think the problem is?
Thanks!

It could definitely be a CV joint...and there's a lot of movement when turning left to the wheel hub, now is it a knocking sound or clicking sound?

CV joint are easy to replace and inspect, just make sure you install it right when your done inspecting...usually some are loud even on a straight drive cruise. And does is make noise when you go over a bump? Does it affect your driving? Wobble or does it rattle sometimes?...

It makes the knocking sound when going over bumps when I am driving straight. I will probably have my mechanic replace it so I don't run into future problems.

Definitely replace it. A new/refurbished axle is about $55, and you can put it in with basic tools.

I once drove my old 1990 Civic about 200 miles (highway mostly) with a broken cv joint. You could cruise along at 65, and about the time you got steady momentum the cv would pop out and the axle would spin independently from the wheel.
So I threw it in neutral, and it would pop back in and I would continue until the next time. Made it home though! (Honda, ya know)

My point: Its an easy and inexpensive fix. Better to play it safe.

It could also be the bushings for the sway bar may need to be replaced. Mine did this
Took wheels off and there was no more ruber on them . they where noise butt easy to
Replace and cheap.

I dont believe a failing CV joint makes noises on a bump or straight. They usually and almost always start making distinct noises (click click click) on a turn only.

I have to agree with Accord Problems above, I too exprienced this and it was the sway bar bushes that had dissappeared (hardened, then cracked and finally fell away) over time, creating noise on a bump (as they were not loose).

I too have replaced sway bar link bushes and that has greatly reduced the noises made on a bump ( I have other suspension issues that need attention).

It is definitley the cv joint. The boot is pretty much off. The seal must be broke. I found a good youtube video to replace it. Thanks for the input!
