I have a similar situation with my 97 expedition. Just didn't race it....looking it over I found a bad ball joint on the control arm....(don't have the money to replace it yet) might also be a bushing or tie rod....have a look at the suspension system and let us know

It sounds like a spark plug back out and is loose.Start simple and withdraw all plugs. Clean, Check gaps, antisieze threads, reinsert with air hose about 8” long that snuggly grips the spark plug head threading as much by hand as possible, use correct size socket with as needed extension and ratchet to get to thread stop point. Then finish with 98 Accord tighten down procedures or spark plug recommendations.
