Booooiiiiing (spring noise)

Ok... this is wierd, if I hit a large bump or uneven spot in the road, I get an spring "boing" noise from the front springs. Now my guess is that one of the isolators on the perch must have come off and its hitting metal on metal and vibrating when the car levels itself, but if anyone has heard this before... let me know whats up... because otherwise it's the shocks, again.

Do you feel the vibration through the steering wheel?

I think it could be your spring isolators as I had the same problem.

I took my car to a local garage not Honda and the mechanic fed clear garden hose around the bottoms of the springs and it helped a lot.

As for vibration through the steering wheel while driving, my car feels every small bump on the road and if I hit a bump, the steering wheel nearly jumps out of my hand. This problem Honda say is normal.
Any comments!!!

I don't feel anything at all... the car drives fine. I just hear the noise.

Honda couldn't find anything. They think there might have been something bouncing around in there (a rock or some gravel) that was hitting the coil, or it could be the start of the shock blowing. But they couldn't figure it out, so I gotta just keep going with it and see what happens.
