It doesnt make any noise wen i go left. When i brake during right turns, I dont hear anything either...Its pissing me off..I wanna know if I can fix myself when I figure out the problem...dont wanna take a trip to the Stealership at all!! And dont worry about those clowns saying its CV Joints...they must have some special edition FWD RX-8...

Hey, I have this now too.. which alignment bolt was loose?
I recently had an alignment done as well, and similar symptom described. Doesn't make sound from static lock to lock turning. For me, it's going in reverse at slow speed, on full lock, it randomly and suddenly will make a loud BANG like something snapped, but everything looks fine, and the car drives fine.

If your bolts were loose and obviouslty you had driven around on them to realize the problem, would the alignment setting be changed? Would I need another alignment after they are tightened? But then if you need another alignment, then they have to be loosened again.. LOL.... hahaha

Did Anyone figure this out?
Sorry to resurrect a decade old thread but did anyone figure out what the cause of the noise was? I am experiencing the same issue on my Series 1. I recently went in a few months ago for having the ball joints changed by the dealer as the recall was never done by the previous owner. The car had blown rear shocks when I bought it and it already made a clunking noise. I am not sure if the noise was there before or after as I noticed it more when I replaced my rear shocks a few days ago.
