Default CV joint knocking on civic vti(mb6)

A friend at work wants to know if this is expensive to fix? its knocking when he turns on full lock he said.

Is it something that NEEDS to be done before it gets worse or is it ok?
Cheers

Whats an MB6?

All the civics I've had have had similar problems. And you need to buy a complete driveshaft, so just wait til its proper fooked.

Its not the engine code, but it may be the body code. Not sure what the 5 door one is.

Yeh not really worth bothering unless it bugs you too much.

Agreed. I've owned 12 different hondas. All performance variants, and all get driven hard. In ten years, i've replaced a rear caliper and a windscreen. And thats it. Everything else has either been modifications that weren;t needed, or consumables.
