Clunking Noise

I have a 2008 Justa Hardtop automatic. I have begun to notice a clunking noise after backing up and then going forward usually after second gear and about 15 mph. Is this from the ABS? Previous Hondas of mine made this noise. Or is it perhaps something in the suspension. It seems to happen at cold startup.

It can be a bunch of things but I doubt that its the ABS since your not pressing the break. Is the noise occurring when the steering wheel is turned???

Check your lugs to make sure they are all torqued to spec. I retorqued all of mine and the noise went away.
