I have a 2000 Accord DX 5-speed that is experienceing an intermittent clunking noise from what sounds like the front passenger side. It occurs primarily when the car hits bumps in the road, and usually only if the wheel is turned off center towards the left. You can "feel" the clunk through the gas pedal when it occurs.

It is not constant, but intermittent, so I suspect it is not a CV joint. I've had the struts and control arm bushings replaced. Each time the problem gets slightly better for a time and then returns and worsens. I haven't (yet) located anything loose in the front end on my own.

Has anyone every heard of such a problem before? I've already dropped a lot of cash on this, so I'm hoping to get some ideas before the next visit to the mechanic.

Thanks very much!

 

I think I have the same problem for 3 years now on my 1998 LX.
Nothing is loosed and I replaced sway bar end links only.
I was thinking that a problem connected to struts but I see you did replace yours.

 

My guess would be the stablizer link (it looks a little twisted dumbell or Mickey Mouse ears). There is a recall or bulletin board from Honda regarding that. Mine was in the rear and a loose stablizer link (not broken). Replacing it is not difficult but the little link costs over $100 from dealers.
