Archived from groups: alt>autos>honda (more info?)

Each time I run over a bump I hear a clunking noise from either front or back.
The dealer told me to have front and rear stabilizer bar links replaced but was
not sure whether this would fix it. A good assurance Smile for my $400.
Did anybody have experienced this kind of problem on this car (97 CRV)?

I find this newsgroup quite helpful in helping me to make informed decisions.
I resolved my 92 Accord hot weather starting problem through this newsgroup.
Thanks to all of Honda enthusiasts out there who share their expertise and
experience.

My 01 was doing the same thing, bought new stablizers @
Hyper4Honda.DeleteThis@neo.rr.com, as i recall I spent about $70 for the pair and
installed them my self, easy job if you have tools, metric wrenches and
allens wrenches, I would recomend a pair of needle nose vice grips, to use
instead of the allen wrenches for removal, use the allens on the new links.

------------------------------

Take note that it's not the stabilizer BAR that's giving the clunking
noise, but rather the sway bar link (on rear), which is about 8" long,
with a small ball joint on each end. Search eBay . . . they are often
there for half price. I wonder if your dealer is a GOOF??? I wouldn't
let him hold your Visa card just yet. You could also sign in and use the
SEARCH feature at hondasuv.com.
