While driving my car today i noticed that i would hear an irratic clicking noise while making a turn. Upon closer inspection i noticed that it would only click while making a right turn. i also isolated the clicking noise to be coming from the right rear tire.
is my differential ready to go or does it have something to do with the hub?
My car is lowered with KG/MM's and was properly aligned by Darin at West End Alignedment. Can this be a cause?
TIA

Yo Mike, waaazzzzzupppp!?!?
Lemme guess, you here the clicking A LOT when you're going through a covered parking area? One possibilty is that the sound could be coming from your brake caliper. Possibly a seized caliper guide pin. I had that annoying clicking noise on my other car for a while, and finally figured out that I had a seized guide pin. I fixed it myself, but it was a little bit of a pain. Try taking it to the dealership to get it fixed under warranty.

Mike i have a solution for you 
It is your differential in the rear end! Its a flaw in honda's desine. If you like to put a lot of power down or if you put on a supercharger its a really good idea to get a Reinforced Differential Housing that you can get from comptech (http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/page117.html) look at the bottom of the page .
some honda service centers will put it in for free if they take it apart. Check with them before you buy this part. I hope this helps you if you have any other problems let me know Jason Kasten

Clicking noises from the rear, especially if you are accelerating, sounds like CV joints to me. Other possible causes are spun rear axle bearings, loose rear axle nuts or possibly the differential.
I'll reiterate RT's "what?" S2000coupe - as you state, the issues with differentials often surface when people have added forced induction to their engines. Stating that "Its is a flaw in Hondas desine" [sic] is like stating "My rear springs bottom out when I load 500 lbs in the trunk. Its a flaw in the design."

i have the same exact noise in the same exact place, but mine only happens when pulling out and only when the wheels are turned a bit. I was sure that it had to be the diff. I have plans to take it to the dealer in the near future. I will post my results as soon as possible.
