, can you tell us any other info that might help out ?

Problem COULD be CV joints ~ does the car make a ticking when turning corners or low speed turns ?
Or maybe ~ does the TICK TICK noise get faster with speed ?
Might be a stone stuck in your tyre somewhere....
Jack up one corner at a time and run your hand over the tyre , checking for anything sticking out slightly ( IE a rock / piece of glass or nail etc)
.....

C.V joints buddy

Your indicator.

A CV joint for sure...

I somehow doubt a stone would make noise and only when turning...

You can either repack the bearings in your CV joints; cheap fix but if you tend to thrash your car probably only last you a few years
Otherwise get whole new CV joints

If memory serves me right; a rather messy job. Personally I'd rather pay someone else to do it for me

I always get stones stuck in my tyres and it normally makes a sound all the time.

just have a check tho, It may be on the very edge and may only come into contact with the road with the weight shift of the car.

[bennjamin]

^ yup. Simple stuff first guys :)

Best to check what you can before pulling the car apart to find a problem

[vtegra]

ok when i go around the corners slow it ticks. it doesnt sound like from the tyre. it is probly the cv joints.
are they expensive to fix?

[JasonGilholme]

it may just be the boot and grease that needs replacing. This is alot cheaper then replacing the CV's themself and proved a successful CURE on my previous car. Worked 100 % for another 80,000 km's.

DIY is on OH somewhere. Shouldn't be over 100 bucks i believe??

[Rasputin]

Cost me $70 for a new front boot installed on my da9

[JasonGilholme]

most of that cost would have been labour.

i believe you can buy both inner and outter boots for around 100 ish??

[spoondc2]

Sorry... this is for civic but if it happens where should i go?

I mean Honda, suspension shop or those CV joint specialists?

[vtegra]

ok thanks guys, il check it out n let uz know

[ECU-MAN]

if its a tick, not a click then you should loosen the CV hub nut and spray crc down the splines, then retighten the cv hub nut ( nice and tight )

that will fix yoru problem

DId you just get new tyres put on?? If you did somtimes it could be a tiny rock or something in the tyre itself spinning around... Happened to me and couldnt figure out wher it was coming from..
