Front driver side clunk (pretty sure I found what it is)

Mine may not be the same for everyone but I was searching for this for months and reading thru a bunch of threads. I don’t believe anyone has discovered this scenario. So here’s mine. I get a slight clunk whenever I am turning at low speeds. No clunk over speed bumps or imperfections on the road while driving straight. Looks like some play with the cv joint going in the transmission.

I've had (I think) the same issue for three years now! Every dealer I take it to can't reproduce the problem. Does your sound seem similar to the one in my video below? You'll need headphones and turn up the volume to hear it, most likely.

Tech said that is normal unfortunately. Shouldn’t have any issues other than the sound

Do you have any vibration at highway speeds, or when turning right or left while accelerating? I had that with my previous Civic and no one could tell me what it was. I finally had the drive shaft replaced and it went away.

"Most" of the time a clunk noise while turning one way is a CV joint. Throw a new axle in, should be $100 or less for a remand axle through a parts store. Take your old axle in for a core and get some money back. Probably an hour job to do
