Default How to tell the difference in symptoms with CV, Wheel brngs and rack and pinion? Civic 2000 high

miles? I believe I have a WB humm but I also have a clicking when turning left and right which seems to be more in the steering wheel than wheel. It also makes this clicking noise when going over bumps, drive shaft seems to move up and down. Honda Civic 2000EX has 209000 hwy miles no major repairs only required maintenance.

Best way to check on the cv joints is to find a flat surface, crank your wheels all the way (left or right) and then drive in circles forward and backward.If they are bad, you will hear a clicking that is fairly pronouced.With 209,000 miles, you could have multiple issues with your suspension so I would recommend having that check out asap. Your suspension / turning systems are a very important to your auto's safety so I would have it checked right away.
