Default 2002 Accord...CV joint issue??

I am hearing a rattle coming from the passenger side front wheel. I hear it mostly when I am accelerating and/or turning left. I just took the wheel off to see if there was anything obvious but I am a hack mechanic at best. Anything I have read on the net tells me it's the CV joint.

Thoughts?

I just took the wheel off again to inspect the CV joint. I didn't see anything noticeably wrong with it.

I did just get new tires. If I remember right that tire was worn heavily on the outside of the tire. When looking at my new tires now it does look like it's turned under the car a hair. (top of tire is further from the car than the bottom)

Get suspension alignment. Sounds like you camber might be off, but visual angles can be really misleading. Toe is more often the culprit for bad wear patterns.
