Clunking Noise? Help!

Guys I bought a cpo'd 2010 Accord & everytime I go over a bumpy road or even sometimes potholes the right side makes a clunking noise its not over every bump, pothole, uneven surface however its often enough to be annoying. Any ideas what it could be? Right muffle/exhaust could be loose?
Thanks in advance

If it is cpo bring it into the honda dealer to have them fix it. From the sound of it it could be the heat shield.

Where is the sound coming from? Hondas have notoriously shitty motor/tranny mounts that can cause clunking.

Idk man only had the car for 2-3 days test drove at 50-60 mph on a nice smooth road but now that I drove it in shitty roads I always hear it from the right side I cant pinpoint it if its either the passenger side front or rear. I even checked to see if it was my muffle or something but they seem in place

My vote is mounts, but I don't know anything about Accord specific issues.

Sounds like the strut. Check the strut, look for a leak, check the top hats as well.. you can put the front end up onstands and listen if it makes noise turning the wheel. Check the links and strut bar as well.. make sure everything is secure. Also check lower control arm (LCA) bushing.
