97 Accord front end bouncing
When accelerating and taking off from stationary, I feel this bouncing from the front left.
It doesn't feel like vibration, it's more like bouncing up and down type of motion.
I've check the CV boot, they are in good condition.
This only happens when taking off in low speed.
Any ideas?
I'll swap the tires later to see if it's the tires.

Car currently have 93k
Motor mount - Which one could it be? It wasn't the top left one because I checked on that a few days ago.
Bushings, haven't check that yet - again which one could it be?
Strut - doesn't seems like it. But my car feels like a ship like floating

as far as bushings go it could be the ones on the lower part of the strut where the control arms bolt into. Or it could be the left strut. Thats where you said it was leaning towards.
perhaps the tires are spinning causing wheel hop?
haha
but it could be a lot of things, have you tried bouncing the car while stopped, see if it levels out fine or if it bounces up and down a few times before stopping. i believe the maximum number of bounces ur allowed are 3 times before coming to a stop.

Did you check to see if the tires are properly inflated?
The bouncing up and down thing sounds like a blown strut to me. I would take the car over to Midas, etc and have them evaluate what the problem may be and go from there.
