Grinding noise when turning left ir right/clicking noise behind steering wheel Sign In

I have a 2008 Honda Civic Coupe with 43,000 miles. The question i have is, when i drivr my car drives fine and smoothe. When i turne to left or right, mainly right it does a grinding and clicking noise. When i reverse i can hear it worse or if i turn slow. I turned the wheel all the way today and it popped which it doesn't do when i do u-turns. I am thinking it is the axles because they have been broken before same noise or similar atleast. The main concern i have it rhe clicking noise behind my steerung wheel. Only does it when i turn to the right. Dn't know if it is related but any suggestions? Help please.. :(

Sounds like a bad axle. Look under the car and see the the boot is all torn.

Ditto - smacks of bad CV joint even if AGAIN. The feeling in steering wheel is likely just the resonance from the problem which I'll call an emergency with those symptoms.

Why again? Noticed that most are rebuilt so they say but some or many will keep a good CV joint and just reboot over it hence they don't have the brand new price. Also the replacement joints may not be of original grade quality,

It's nearly impossible to even buy boots any more. It's cheaper to replace the whole axle now.

So true. I'm shocked at the low prices too suggestive of short cutting. Jeez - was an Audi so long ago I forget what year but no rebuilds available and struggled to do one myself at insane parts expense to do just one. BTW - if they still sell those zipper boots for replacements, forget those as the damage is done,
