worn CV joint on your axle. not too expensive to replace at all. almost all parts stores have them in stock, or you may have to order them. they always had them in stock when i'd look. if you know a mechanic, maybe that could save you some money instead of going to a garage. or do it yourself if you know how. its really pretty easy i'd say.

it usually isnt as hard as that guy had it in the link you posted. he just had shit luck with that damn suspension bolt or whatever else. ok, from honda dealership, they will price it anywhere from $280-$550. its usually around $400 + or -, for the axles from honda. believe me, i know about that. probley should have got them from honda, but at the time i didnt have much money to work with. now days thats a different story. from places like autozone, o'reilly, or pepboy's, they usually will set you back about $80, and when you give them you old axle you will have spent about $40-$50, depending on their core price. they give you a refund for your old part so it can be sent to be rebuilt. kind of a scam if you think about it. i dunno.

Discount Auto Parts sells them for somewhere around $50-80 (I don't remember exactly) when you bring your old ones in and they come with lifetime warranty. AutoZone and I think NAPA as well rent all the tools you need for free. Don't forget to crack your gear oil bolt (aka tranny filler plug)loose and have gear oil on hand before starting.
