    First thing I'd do is check the condition of all the bushings, especially the sway bar bushings.

    ball joints barings and strutts too...i got an 89 lx-i accord like you and it happens ALL the time....i've changed mine (both left and right) about 2 times...these old hondas are known for these problems...just bare with it and turn up the system....or get em fixed...not too expensive either....

    Check the sway bar end links. I've driven the car without the bushings, and the knocking is there on bad roads. Just my 2c.
