Clicking comes and goes
Yesterday when I was driving there was a clicking noise every time I made a sharp left turn.
I took the wheel off and looked underneath the car everything seems to be okay. The CV boot wasn't ripped or anything.
I got into my car again this morning and the clicking went away. I took my car for a spin again at lunch and the clicking didn't come back.
What could have possibly caused the problem?
I'm going to do another inspection when I get home today. Is there anything I should look for in particular?
Btw, I drive a 97 Civic DX with 110000km on it.

clicking, as in one CLICK or a rapid succession of clicks.... like when an axle goes.
it could be an axle or engine/tranny mounts I suppose... could be susp too if. all depends on if it was one click or several.

Is it safe to pull back the CV boot and exam the joint or will all the grease just leak out?

you can't pull back the boot, it's clamped on both sides. I would suspect the CV joint still.... sounds like the most likely cause. just let is go for a lil while, see if it gets worse.
