It looks like I will be replacing my CV-Shafts as there is a clunk every now and then occuring when Im turning and starting off slow. Last day or so it hasn't occured, I checked to see if anything was rubbing, I can feel it clunk when it happens. I tried to see if my tophats for my coils were catching or it being lowered has caused more stress for the steering rack.

Another thing, it does it too when Im turning while driving at slow speeds. Going from a downward slope and turning it pops. When I'm on flat road turning right and the car leans a bit, it clunks, It was excessive clunking a couple days ago, and now its every now and then.

My question is, are slightly upgraded performance axels worth the bucks or are they a waste in general?

Oh also, what exactly am I looking for when needing to buy the replacement plastics for the steering column? The ones that wrap around the ignition and such. Mine broke, so I need to buy a new cover for around the column. On http://www.hondapartscheap.com they have listed 4 different pieces to complete the steering column area and I'm confused on what ones I need. Only part I have is the top half of the column cover. lol sorry for the excessive posting in short time, I'm just trying to clean up the civic more.
