Just poated this in Suspension Thread but this may be the right forum as I have an Accord.
First time poster but long time visitor. Blog is an amazing resource so haven't had the need to post but NOW at my wits end.

Situation is on a 2007 Honda Accord LX V6 w/ 150k miles and continuous clunking over every little bump, mostly from Front Drivers side to the front middle. I know its hard to describe by writing about it but You tube has the sound but they sound the same, from Bad Struts, Engine Mounts and Sway Bars. Hence me hitting them all as they were old and worn anyway.

Bottomline, I've put a lot CITY wear and tear over the past year so tough conditions with tons of potholes, cracks in road and even cobblestone. I replaced and check everything possible including trying to duplicate the sound while on ground and lifted in air . If anyone has any ideas or advice, I am willing to try anything so please let me know.

Replaced Front on both sides:
1-Struts
2-Lower Control Arms
3-Upper Control Arms
4-Inner Tie Rods
5-Outer Tie Rods
6-Front Sway Bar Links
7-Lower Ball Joints
8-Sway Bar Bushings (was a B+TCH to change these on this model cause of lowering sub frame)
9- ALL 6 Engine Mounts - 3 Motor 3 Trans

Also Replaced Rear Strut Assembly and both Sway Bar Links.

PS- This site.helped.with most.of the above. Only thing I havent done was Front Bearings but dont feel loose.by shaking tires while off ground.

be sure you either torque to spec or you use a breaker bar to tighten everything down, a bolt can be fairly close to tight but if it's not real tight it will allow the suspension component to move and it will clunk when you take off or stop
