Default thumping sound

Its got a thumping sound from the pass front strut. You can push down on the hood and get the sound and you get it while turning left. its a thumping or no a clunking sound but i am wondering if its a bad strut bearing.. or anything else ?

I could be a bad strut bushing among other things.

What year/model/etc accord are you driving?

You may want to put the car on jackstands. Turn the steering wheel to lock the wheel/tires in place. Push/Pull on the tire at the 12/6 o'clock positions. Then 3/9 o'clock. There should be very little movement in the tire.

You can also remove the tire and inspect the rubber bushings.

Its a 94 2door EX 5spd... I haven't had a chance to really look at it.. but asking to make sure it wasn't a odd recall or something strange.
