Default Noises in suspension

I have 2 issues with my suspension.

First issue.

I recently replaced all 4 struts on my 98 Honda Accord Ex. I am the orignal owner and I never changed them at all until a few weeks ago. After installing them I hear a hard clicking noise when my car goes through a bump on the road or when I am coming out of an exit one side of the car at a time. I also notice it sometimes when I turn the corners. When I shake my car up and down in a park position I dont hear the hard clicking noise. It only happens when I am driving. I went to 2 different garages and they cant find anything wrong.

Second issue.

My parents drove my car a few months ago and my dad admitted that he kinda messed up my car. When he was parking close the the curb he tried to get as close as he can and kinda went up and down on the curb because it was low. After doing that I hear a rattling noise when I hit bumps on my front passenger side. Does anyone know what would cause that rattling noise?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

im assuming you've replaced the strut plates too while you replaced your struts

Only thing i could think of is your stabilizer pins...But if 2 shops couldn't find that out then eh...maybe its not

its kinda hard figuring out problems like these online especially if you cannot see/drive the vehicle to know exactly what kinda noise it is...

kinda like people asking on the phone and making noises that its making thats no where near what the vehicle is doing

Good luck though
