clunking\Knocking Noise
95 Accord EX-R V-6 4Dr
Recently I have been having a clunking/knocking noise coming from the driver side front end. This noise tends to happen when I am accelerating from a stop sign or when I am braking for a stop then release the break. Also it happens randomly as I drive.
I opened up the front door and jumped up and down on the door edge and the noise did not happen. However, when I pushed my weight forward on the car when it was in park I got the noise to happen. So I am thinking something must be lose and when weight shits in a forward on back ward motion it causes this noise, not in an up and down motion. Any ideas?

Tried your test for the motor mount and could not get it to make the noise..
I'm thinking its some sort of suspension thing...
Las time I brasught it in shop said everything was solid, noise is getting worse, maybe they can figure it out this time...
BAH@!!

Not so much over pot holes or bumps...
More when weight is shifted forward or back
This noise tends to happen when I am accelerating from a stop sign or when I am braking for a stop then release the break befre I have completly stopped. Also it happens randomly as I drive.

when the cv joints were replaced did u retighten all the suspension components when the suspension was load w/ the wieght of the vehicle?
if not the bushings might be making the noise because they were not preloaded properly when tightening

Are your lug nuts tighten correctly? If it's not tighen securely to the hub, the forward force would cause the wheel to shift, thus making a clunk noice.
