Help - Prelude Suspension Vibration?

To any Honda Techs/Mechanics out there with more experience than me, I have an issue possibly regarding suspension with my 4th gen Prelude. About a month ago my driver side sway bar end link bushing gave way, crumbling into pieces. I replaced the bushing with some Energy Suspension ones on both sides. Ever since then I've been getting a vibration or some type of knocking/rapid thumping noise ONLY under acceleration - not while turning, on the front driver side coming from the wheel well area - somewhere around there. It's not the CV shaft or wheel bearing. I can feel the thumping right behind the foot pedals but am unable to pin point it. Its frustrating. If anyone had the same issue please inform me if you know how to fix the problem. Everyone else...any suggestions?? Thanks.

I broke a couple of cv axles before and Im VERY familiar with the noise they make when they're going bad. The vibration/knocking noise is closer to the firewall than in the area of the cv shaft but on the driver side. All of the control arm bushings are good and so i s the rear motor motor mount. Any suggestions, man?
