The yellow ball should not move.
Then tell your dealer that the bump stop has come loose, its a known fault, and the only way to fix it permanently it to replace the strut, driving over a small pot hole will make the suspect front strut clunk loudly, or coming off the back of a speed cushion (wide speed bump).
If one of your bump stops is loose, and the dealer agrees to change, it might be an idea to pull the other one off, otherwise they will only change the one strut, not a good idea if you have more than 5000 miles.

i did a check on my car's front right suspension yesterday and i found out that the bump stop has come away from the strut...Thanks for the information you shared...my dealer must see this. I think that this is the cause of the strange noises...honda must make a fix on it...
