I have noticed this behavior twice. When driving over uneven surfaces WITH the steering wheel turned I have heard a single "knock" from what seems to be the steering in the Accord. Today I was pulling out of the drive way to move the Accord into the grass out front (this would be the uneven surface I was mentioning) and I heard and felt a slight knock from the steering. Is this normal behavior? Or is something out of whack. Have any of you ever observed such a thing in your car?
Steering / suspension knock....

Hmm, I don't ever get a clunk when driving away from a stop, or in any other situation either. Its only when turning and when going over uneven surfaces....and I feel it in the steering wheel, or so it seems. Could that still be ball joints?

I have felt this in other cars as well, namely my fathers Silverado but that was only when the steering what turned all the way to the lock position. I have felt a clunk in my GF Jetta as well. I am hoping its just a little bit of play in something and is considered normal operation. If it was a ball joint issue would it present itself more often?
It's hard to say - if you really want to chase down the issue yourself, I would buy a set of Chassis Ears.

My chassis ears are awesome. I have the Matco wireless ones and they were the only way I could pinpoint noises my 98 Mustang was having due to the loud exhaust.
