I need help to know what is wrong and what to do on my 99 honda civic. I just discovered that when turning, there is a cracking sound on the front wheel. Pls can anyone tell what the issue is?

Please all good people in the house should help advice before I take it for repair.

There are lots of reasons that could cause that, could be the shaft. Or probably your ball joints are about to fall off. My advice, stop driving it and take it to ur mechanic to examine before it disappoints u in the middle of nowhere. And when replacing ball joints, insist on the original ones and not the korean ones that litter the market. If u can't get a genuine new one u can buy a tokunbo ball joint, way better than the new korean or china ones.

Thanks to you Sienna and Abatically. I appreciate

@Siena, CV gaiter is not a common name in the automobile industry in naija. Could you pls break it down to a local workshop name for the sake of us?

CV joint rubber boot.

Or just tell them shaft rubber. That's the most common street name in naija,

Thanks to you all. The issue has been fixed. It is shaft rubber that tore off and exposed the bearings causing them to wear off.
I think I have a good mechanic, because even without explaining to him, he knew it immediately he handled the car and since he replaced it, it has been smooth.

You guys gave me the idea despite the heavy grammar, I loved what u all told me, thanks
