Suspension noise, not squeeking but knocking. Shocks or bushings?
The noise is happening in the front driver side but it's only in an alley over pot holes or large travel distance of the wheel, it's a noise as if something is loose. I dont know if it's the shocks or bushings. And as for the shocks, i'm also changing them because the car has a lot of body roll, tires aren't the issue because i just got performance summer tires.

I am experiencing the same problem. It is more of a clunking than anything, and happens on certain low speed stutter bumps a lot. I think a mechanic noted that my LCA bushings were going bad, so that could be the culprit in your case...

What Greenery18 said is exactly what it is, low speeds and bumps. Is there any way to reproduce this noise by moving some part while the vehicle is raised?

It was the ball joint connected to the upper control arm, couldn't replace the ball joint by itself but i got the whole arm for $30cnd from an auto wrecker, previous car had 34000 on the odo. Not a bad deal considering honda wanted $130cnd

There's no balljoints back there buddy.
Oh, and greenery 18 - change your sway bar end link bushings.
