Its probably your bushings. Unbolt it and clean those out and apply fresh grease like Slick Honey. If its the air shock, let all the air out and unscrew the air sleeve. Clean all that stuff up and re-grease with Slick Honey

Seeing how it's a Prelude, I would bet on the lower or upper ball joint being the culprit

Spray some silicon on the bushings/ball joints and push up and down on the car until you hear it go away- then you found your noisy component!
