about a month ago, i noticed a small click in the front right wheel when the weight shifted in the car like accelerating and decelerating. it got especially bad on hills and start and stop traffic in first gear.

fast forward to this morning, some punk tried to blaze past me at an on-ramp light. i floor it in first and the car lurches to the right. major pull. i let up on the gas really fast, but it felt really really off. it reminded me of the front wheel drive pull but times 1000 worse. any clues?

oh also, no clicks when the wheel turns. only if i'm accelerating/slowing down.

 

front axle?

 

that was my thought with the clicking and what-not. but the wheel slip is WEIRD, right?

 

Sounds like axle trouble and balljoints man. Had same problem with my 96 TL 2.5. Didnt take care of it soon enough and my axle nut broke loose. Dealer was surprised I drove in. Said wheel could have fallin off. Had the nasty ass loud grindin

 

hell. thats the last thing i want to happen. that settles it, she's going to the shop tomorrow! open wallet, turn upside-down, shake.

 

 

Sounds like ball joint? I had a 94 Vtec Prelude many years ago that had similar symptoms. Upper balljoint had seperated from the upper wishbone. Turn the wheels all the way left or right adn see if you can see the balljoints and if they're still where they're supposed to be.

 

Some suspension issue. Either ball joint or cracked strut spring, definately not an axle issue. Worn CV joint wouldnt cause pulling and usually gets loud while turn-accelarating

 

If it was an axle issue ther was no way for your wheel to fell off, you could have stall - but thats it!. It's sad that even dealers do not have any idea what they are talking about and/or try to push BS to people
