same shit as me i had
the wheel ball is not lubricated enough
i had to buy a new ball from acura cause i kept greasing it myself but it alays came back .
or
you can take the wheel off and try and clean it i heard of?
many people had this problem but its a easy fix but annoying as hell.
if you drive on it too long the bolt can crack and you can lose control of your car.
so get it fixed soon and try not to drive on it too much especially on the highways.

you cant get inside to the actual bolt joint.... thats why i had to roder a new one and they installed it.
i guess you can just use wd 40 for now and turn the wheel all the way to the left and lube the joints and turn all the way to the righ and lube the joints(thast if you dont take off the wheel) if you take off the wheel which i did not i assume you just clean everything then lube it .
once again i had to replace the whole joint so their for i am not sure bout where you would lube it when you take off the wheel

Take off front wheel, undo the center bolt and pull off the rotor. then proceed to pull the whole drive shaft out making sure not to damage the seal where it goes back into the transmission. once thats off, you can take the rubber boot off by breaking the metal ring used to lock it. then buy the rubber boot, like 5 or 6 bucks and also a thing from pepboys, i forget what its called but its for clamping the metal lock, its a clamping tool. before fitting the rubber boot back on, put in some ball joint grease, pepboys too, and then put everything back together. you can even change the seal if you like, its like and extra 20-30 bucks. the ball joing container tells you how much to put in, in fact it usually comes in small packets that you just open and dump the whole thing.
