My car makes a weird noise when I hit a bump, what is it?

Every time I hit a bump or a dip or something that isn't flat my cars makes a noise around the right front tire. It kind of sounds as if someone is kicking a can. My best guess is that its the strut, but I don't want to risk a big fix like that if that's not it. What do you guys think? Or suggest.

1998 Honda Civic LX

Kicking a can noise seems to me like its just the brake cover rattling.look at the metal mud/dust guard that sits behind your brake calipers and see if its loose. That's what I would think it is any way

Its a bump indicator beacon

  • Weird whistling noise coming from my ATV engine? So i have a honda 250ex, and today whenever i would give it gas, i would here a strange whistling noise coming from the cylinder block in the engine. When in neutral the sound was not heard. I never heard this sound before and it made me a little nervous. Just wondering if there's a problem with it or if i need to replace something.
  • What could cause a clunking noise when hitting a bump in a Honda Pilot 2019? When vehicle hits bumps in the road, a clunking/thumping noise happens. Sounds like spare tire is hitting but actually it's, because that has been checked and is secured tightly. Very annoying.
  • Hit a pothole, car makes scratching noise on bumps? I hit a pothole going about 50 mph on a highway entrance ramp. Car drives fine but on any sort of bump/dip in the road, the car makes a scratching/grinding noise from the left front tire (the tire that hit the pothole). It's an 05 Honda pilot, not lowered. What do y'all think it might be?
  • My engine makes a weird noise sometimes when I drive? I have 2008 Honda Odyssey DX. When I'm driving, there's no problem up until I drive up a slight hill. There's a cranking/grinding sound ONLY when I press the gas and I'm driving up a small hill. It stays for about 5 seconds and then it goes away. Any idea to what it could be?
