05 Accord V6 coupe knocks when turning?

I own a 2005 Honda Accord EX V6 coupe amongst 6 speed guide tranny. It currently has 108K miles on it. It has run smoothly the complete time and has never had a dilemma. Items have been serviced and or replaced when scheduled, and that's it. Recently, in under the previous few days, I've noticed that when I turn my auto, usually just on sharp, low speed turns, there's a knocking sound coming from the back. It doesn't happen at all times, and can happen more when it's cold out, I am uncertain yet. Besides that I can't explain it anymore, besides that it doesn't happen when I go over bumps or ruts in the road, just when turning (so far). A buddy was riding in the car and heard it and said it sounded similar to a strut mount, or something else to carry out amongst strut or the rear suspension, is that the the majority of likely cause? I'm bringing it to my mechanic on Monday, however was only curious in the meantime.Thanks all who answer

The catylitic converters malfunctioned on my 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid. This happen to you?

My car has had the "check engine" light on for about a week so i took it to the dealer and they said that both catylitic converters were gone. On a 2005 vehicle? Is this unheard of? I've the certified Honda warranty plus and extra warranty so it's covered however what the hell? is this something one-off for Honda. It sounds "suspect" to me and i would prefer to know what everybody elses expierence is. To provide a bit of background, I'm running full synthetic and have burned a tank or 2 of premium gas until I realized the mileage is made WORSE (would this have something to carry out with it?)

Should I take up Honda Certification for a 2005 Accord in good condition?

I'm considering buying a used 2005 Honda Accord from a reputable Honda dealer. A lot of my buddies have bought their cars from that dealer and have great comments.The car is 2 years and 3 months old, and based on the CARFAX report, it doesn't have any problem. The mileage of the car is about 20k, and it previously has just one owner.The car is currently not certified and the dealer has told me that if I desire it to be certified, it would cost roughly another $800. Base on my limited understanding of Honda Certification, it basically buys me one more year of warranty, and an improved calmness and composure to begin with.Do you believe the certification shall be worth it?I'm inexperience with cars and this is the 1st time I'm buying an auto. Our main purpose of getting the car is to carry out our shopping errands and for occasional short trips. If this Accord is in great condition but even now need repairs in under the first year, do you believe the repairs can effortlessly cost more than $800?
