It's almost impossible to diagnose a problem like this without hearing the car, the 1998 Acura doesn't have ball joints, or CV joints on the rear, and it should have disc brakes, so it's highly unlikely they're out of alignment. You have rear struts, but if they were loose, it would make noise all the time, not just on left turns. The best thing you can do is take it to a repair shop, try Midas Muffler, or one of the chains, if you don't know a good local independent. Tell them you ONLY want a diagnosis. Whatever they tell you, take it to a second shop, don't tell them what the first shop said, and have them check it also. If they agree, then that's the problem, and you can call around for a price to get it fixed. If they disagree, find a 3rd shop. I say go to one of the big chains because if there's a problem, you have a corporation you can complain to, and get a response, not some garage that will be out of business next week. Seriously, there could be any number of things wrong with your car, some minor, some serious, some dangerous, please go get it checked ASAP.

Your barrings could be shot. Or you may need to check the brakes, they could be busted inside. Most vehicles come with shocks in the back and not struts.
And when a shock blows you'll know it, cause that side of the vehicle will sag slightly. Also could be you need to tighten the lug nuts. Sometimes they can come loose and the rim will rattle against the drum.
Just give it a good goin over. See what ya find.

Well the case may be that when you take a left hand turn your right weel comes in contact with its brake shoe and so it produces a sound. The alignment of your right weel with its brake shoe might have got displaced. It could not be more that this I guess.

it can be several things.does it sound like a grinding noise. that would most likely be the wheel bearing on that side in the back.shocks(struts) will rattle sometimes when they rust out or wear out. it may be a broken one too. the exhaust may have come loose or rusted off.also souds dumb but check the lugnuts to be sure noone loosened them or they didn't come loose. happened to me before.

It really could be your ball-joint.
My boyfriends truck would do that but from the front-right-tire and one day the tire just broke off... sounds weird but it happened. I would say get it looked at right away because it could be really bad if your on the highway.

Look at the rear suspension. Does it still bounce when you push the back down?

Worn out or broken strut support. Not very expensive to fix.
