Probably CV joint on one side or the other. A mechanic might call it an axle problem. The so called "boot" on your Accord generation is notorious for busting. I have the same generation and have done both of my front axles. I got remanufactured ones both times, but recently one of those failed, so now I will only buy new ones. If this turns out to be the problem you are having, it is best to just replace the whole thing. Trying to fix the busted boot is not really a good option. That busted boot flopping around is probably what you're hearing. You can easily inspect the boot and move it with your hand. If its busted, you will know. The busted boot usually indicates the cv joint being bad. It's something wise to fix asap because continued wear or complete breakdown of that assembly could cause you some transaxle problems. That CV joint assembly is one thing that bugs me about my Honda. There we have this complicated joint all packed up with grease, yet there is absolutely no way for me to lube that joint and perhaps get more life out of it. I just have to wait for it to fail and then replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
