lowered ? Rims ? aftermarket suspension ?

or is this a complete stock civic ?
but you're probably wasting time here, bring it to a mech/tech they'll be able to diagnose it much better

If is under cornering then its your drive shaft, the boot could have cracked opened and all the grease came out.

Replace the drive shaft boot and grease or get a new drive shaft if its damaged.
Good idea to go to a mechanic so they can see for themselves. You can only explain things so much through writing, heh.

sounds like the driveshaft.
Is there grease all throughout your front wheels?

Could be bushings/balljoints/wheel bearings aswell, but more likely the CV's by the sound of it.

A mech. should be able to diagnose this issue right away.

iirc, clicking while turning is usually cv's, but at any rate, get it checked out

Clicking sounds like CV joint, but with the bump it could be elsewhere as stated above like a loose ball joint or bolt somewhere

hey, i had a similar problem with my civic, where it'd click when i'd turn right, and click even more if i accelerate more while turning.
it ended up being the sway bar

yo i have the same problem! just went to the mechanic and we had a look. he sed its not serious its just an annoying thing to have while driving!
well i have coils on mine and the metal clicking sound is caused by a washer that is not supposed to be installed on the right part of the coil!
