check your mounts, a front end bouncing could also be from bad cut springs or improper installment of spring/coil assembly

Fourth post nailed it. Get new torque mounts,and maybe new motor mounts or inserts for them.good job 98civdx.

all that i have left to do is the alinement idk what else it could be everything else checks out other then the front sway bar is missing? but i dont think that would cause it.... the one on my accord is broken and it drives just fine ha

The torque mounts will.Check your motor mounts and torque mounts for cracking and/or dry rot. Thats why they thought you couldn't drive 5spd.

The bounce is on one side and not the other??? sounds like bent suspension components then(lower control arms,radius arms,upper control arms).Compare passenger side to drivers side to locate any bent stuff. Radius arms fixed??

Exactly the same thing im doing. But mine is the clutch. My rear main seals are leaking and its getting oil on the clutch which is causing hot spots on the the disc which is causing grabbing or chattering on the the clutch. I had this problem with my old hatch too and now my sedan is doing it. With almost 200,000 im not suprised at all.
In fact I thought it wold have been doing it earlier.
