yeah im noticing its only doing it once the suspension is loaded (in a turn)

Its more than likely the suspension hat hating life bro. Mine has been making the same noises and I am positive its the top of the strut.

yah mine too, it sounds like we have exactly the same problem...have you checked like EVERY bolt on the suspension to make sure its torqued properly? im going to go through all of mine today after work(unless its raining)...also check that lower balljoint nut, im checking mine, i dont think its off, but who knows...ill let you know if i find something

in my clunk thread they suggested retorquing my tie rod end...the thing that throws me is 200miles of pa/nj driving yesterday on those awful roads with bumps and dips and potholes the car didnt make the sound once...if i cant find anything im definitely going to replace this bearing type deal on the strut tower...

I've been having this problem since the day I picked up my ep... my only hope is one day to have my whole suspension fall apart while I drive and sue honda world OC for refusing to look into it while I was under warranty.

I lifted it up again after work and found nothing to be wrong, bent, or fucked up

dang, i dont know if its the same problem but in my car when i do left turns and/or go over bumps i get a clunking and popping noise also. its been driving me crazy for about a year now. when i it acts up i take off the wheel and look around but theres nothing that i can see that could cause it. =\ i think it might be my top hat for the springs but i cant be too sure, since the noise can only be replicated when driving.

Mine has been doing the same thing for at least 6 months now. Random clunking on suspension load/turning and over bumps.

One of these days I'm going to to find some time and do some (more) suspension work. ie: new endlinks, new tie rids, new swaybar bushings and replacing the top hat bearing. That'll give me an excuse to go in and get a fast road alignment.

If that doesn't fix it I'll just drive the car into the ocean.

In my case I know its not my axles, because I rebuilt my Type S axles before installing them with my 5-lug last year. Ball joints are (or should be) still good too since they came off a RSX-S with 16k miles.
