Suspension feels loose when going over speed bumps

06 Acura TL /w 79K miles.
Started feeling it today, and did not hit or run over anything today that could cause it.

When I go over a speed bump, I feel as if there is something loose on the front passenger side.
It feels normal when driving regularly, but anything I go over a speed bump I notice it.

I'm not able to put the car into a shop until this weekend but I want to see what you guys might think it could potentially be.

/e sort of like a clunking noise.

Is there a latching type of noise too? Sounds like the sway bar end links.

I was thinking the same thing but to a point. Swaybar endlinks, motor mount, or maybe control arm links. I'd take to your trusted mechanic of choice and have them put it on a lift to "wiggle" around for anything coming loose or seperated. Keep us posted.
