I have the same problem and the consensus is that it is the lower ball joints. Try to get grease into the lower ball joint (with a pointed applicator) or replace them.
Changing the struts on a 2000 Honda Accord requires removing the lower control arm, ball joint, and strut mounts. An alignment is suggested after installing new struts to provide the best drivability.
No, they are different.
The Accord uses struts, front and rear. There are no shocks. Roughly the struts will cost $300 for all four and whatever your shop charges for labor.
Both shocks on the front, struts on the back depending on the make it might have it both ways!
too much

Almost all modern cars, including 2000 Honda Accord, have struts. For the most part, shocks are found on full size trucks and vans.
The average cost of struts for a 1998 Honda Accord 4 cylinder is anywhere from $250 to $350 for four. If the struts are not replaced then the car will not be able to absorb bumps in the road. This will make for a bouncy and rough ride and ultimately this can also lead to irregular tire wear.
Not including Trans Mounts, Should be 2, on has 2 bushings in it, the one closer to the rear
The strut mounts take some time to settle in. Resulting in a squeak for some distance.
There are 2 in the front and 2 in the rear. The front ones are different from the rear ones.
The struts are mounted inside the trunk of the car. It's a really strange place for them to have the struts but it seems to work on that car. I know a lot of people who like it and some who don't.
