Front end noise...

The car is a 2000 Honda Accord V6 EXL with 270k miles. Rear bearings just replaced. Just had the motor mounts replaced, so they are good, but I didn't check their bolts for tightness. Front end makes a very noticeable "knocking" noise when going over potholes, etc. I've checked the shock mounts, rod ends, bushings, etc. and can't find anything making the noise (loose or worn). Yes, the lug nuts are tight, too.

What else can make the noise? I'm thinking that even though I can't find anything loose, I should replace the ends and bushings...just because they have 270k miles on them. Could the front bearings be going??

Any ideas would help me. I'm at a loss right now.
