Default Front End knocking Noise

I have a 95 Accord V6 EXR. I get a knock noise, like somthing metal slipping and knocking coming from the front passanger side. This happens occasionally when I am at a complete stop and then take off at normal speed both when moving forward and backwards. If I go slower than normal speed from a stop it does not seam to happen. Also it occasionally happens when I hit large bump (driveway curb).

I have recently replaced upper control arm on that side and lower ball joints on both sides.

Any ideas?? lower control arm bushing maybe, I think it was slightly cracked last time I looked??

start with the obvious.. if you replaced those items, make sure the nuts are not loose. it could also be that your shocks are pretty dead and just knocking around now. cv joint could also be a possibility..

you'll just have to eliminate each possibility one by one..

Check your radius rod bushings at the lower subframe.
