I have a 92 civic sedan w/ manual transmission and it is making a loud cracking noise then i turn or brake around the front wheels...does someone know what it might be???

from my exp, when you brake and you hear a sort of cracking sound in the front, it's because of dirty brakes.

not in a while but i am gonna have it done soon... the problem is that it also does it when i am turning... that is y i am not sure that it might not be the brakes

Could be a bad tie rod bushing. Put the front end on jack stands, remove both front wheels, and inspect the front suspension components for excess free play and the brakes for damaged or worn pads and rotor.

yeah... it sounds like bad brakes to me man, my moms car was making a a scraping noise when she would brake and turn, she needed new pads, rotors, and even calipers cuz she let her brakes go so long the calipers froze up.
