why is my Honda Accord 10th Generation (2018-2022) making a clicking noise when turning

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is turned off.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical systems.

2. Inspect and Replace CV Joint

• Inspect CV Joint:
  • Remove the wheel by loosening the lug nuts and lifting the vehicle with a jack.
  • Remove the wheel and inspect the CV joint boot for tears or grease leakage.
• Replace CV Joint:
  • If damage is found, remove the axle nut using a socket wrench.
  • Detach the CV axle from the hub assembly.
  • Remove the CV joint from the axle by removing the retaining clamps.
  • Insert a new CV joint and secure it with new clamps.
  • Reattach the axle to the hub assembly and torque the axle nut to the manufacturer's specifications (typically around 130-150 ft-lbs).
  • Reinstall the wheel and lower the vehicle.

3. Inspect and Replace Suspension Components

• Inspect Suspension:
  • Check the ball joints and tie rod ends for play and any visible wear.
• Replace Components:
  • If any parts are worn, remove the retaining clips and bolts securing the component.
  • Install new components, ensuring proper torque specifications are followed.
  • Recheck alignment after replacing any suspension components.
