Accord front end noise when accelerating from stop
2003 Honda Accord EX V6 - changed front/rear brakes/rotors, new tires & front upper control arms were changed. I notice a grinding/clicking noise from front end (not engine) when I accelerate from a stop going straight forward then stops after a few seconds/before out of 1st gear. No noise when turning wheel. HELP PLZ

You might have something loose in the control arms - after a certain speed, it may not be so noticable because of the extra pressure on the joint.
I'd start by double checking all the bolts you touched doing the job, just to be sure they are all torque'd properly.

Jack the car up and "shake" the rims and see if you can make sound. I once had a loose lower control arm that made noises under acceleration and nothing else. It was the nut that attached to the hub.

Check upper control arm bolts. Mine was loose and was held in by the spring. Didn't recheck my work, but glad it didn't come off.
