1994 Honda Civic noise when accelerating Sign In

Year of vehicle - 1994
Make of vehicle - Honda
Model of vehicle - Civic gli
Engine size - 1.5l
Mileage/Kilometers
- 135,000

In first gear when I turn right (doesnt happen when i accelerate to the left) and accelerate around a corner a rattling noise (not quite a shudder) comes from the front left wheel (only when accelerating, not when turning in any other gear except 2nd occasionally). Happens every time i accelerate to the right, possibly something lose, unsure.

That's common to a bad CV joint or possibly a wheel bearing. Most failing CV joints will make a "crackle" type sound upon acceleration and hard turn as you described. Many would do that with steering either way and bearings tend to pick one direction more than the other.

Both should be checked along will full front end inspection, brakes and all,
