Hello all,

I have a 2004 Accord V6-EX with 7500 miles that has a rather strange
condition.  I say condition rather than problem; it is not clear what I
about to describe is a problem.

There is a distinct noise coming from the undercarriage of my car that
occurs as follows.  I start up my car after it has been off for at
least 4 hours.  I back up the car for a small distance.  That is either
out of my gargage or my parking spot at work.  I travel at low speed
for a short distance thereafter, perhaps 100 ft,  and I here what
sounds like a "twang" coming from the front suspension.  It is not the
same sound the car makes when traversing holes or bumps in the
pavement.  It does sound like a problem with a steering boot.  The
rather wierd thing is that I don't hear that sound again, regardless of
how much I'm turning or driving until the car is parked and off for at
least 4 hours.  It is rather strange that the sound occurs *once* for
each cycle.

Has anyone observed this before?  What is going on?  My local Honda
dealer can't diagnose the problem.

TIA
