My guess (based on the frequency of trouble) is a ball joint. Good thing it
happened at low speed, so you didn't have this experience:

Re: 94 Honda, Right front pin busted from balljjoint
 

Seems to be more of a head ache than anything else...just bought the car
Nov. 19, 2005....looks great, engine has great idling, runs well, owner
had changed as he claims the rotors but they do look new but I think did a
shitty job putting it back together!!! Paid 2,400 has 176k on it.....I
should of had it check before buying it.....well, this week i'm goin to
have it towed to the nearest shop in two days!!! therefore, looked at it
underneath (jacked-up ofcourse) seems to be it's the bottom ball-joint is
off the from the arm, it seems that the "pin" that locks up the "bolt"
from balljoint gave up....so it popped-out from the arm....i set it back
on it until the tow truck rolls it back on the flat bed!!! Have any idea
how much it's goin to cost??? I hear the bottom ball joint is cheaper
aside from the labor itself ofcourse??? fill me in about this pls...so, i
would expect it....I called a shop and they said round up to $280 parts
and labor plus tax.
