Default Funky Clunking Noise in the Front Left Tire Area

Sorry I hope the title isn't too vague...

Well this is my problem, I recently changed the front axle, breaks, bearings, and stabilizer bar in my 1994 Honda Accord. It worked fine for awhile, but then all of a sudden I hear this clunking noise specifically in the front driver side area. This noise is only heard when I drive in a bumpy road. When I drive on a smooth surface, she is peaceful and quiet. Furthermore, I had my dad sit on the hood by that area and bump and shake it, in order to see if the noise starts, and it doesn't. Therefore, the noise is only present when I hit a pothole, or when the road is bumpy. If anyone knows anything about this, I would greatly appreciate it if you told me about it.

Thanks

Make sure your stabalizer links are tight. Also, if you didn't use a liberal amount of lube on the brake pad end tabs they can make a rattle or clunking noise.

sounds like either your strut or you sway bar link, im leaning more twards you sway bar link because a blown strut you should be able to hear it squeak by applying pressure, than again anything can happen
