Problem overview

Some Honda Ridgeline owners report experiencing front-end clunking noises, particularly when driving over uneven surfaces at low speeds, which can be frustrating and concerning. These clunking sounds are often more noticeable under 20 miles per hour and may sometimes originate from the back end of the truck. Additionally, some drivers have noted clunking noises while backing up or turning slowly, with service departments struggling to identify the precise cause. The noise may be linked to specific areas of the front suspension, including the front stabilizer bar control links, sway bar end links, or bushings. Ignoring these clunking noises could lead to more serious suspension issues, potentially compromising road safety. It is advisable for owners to consult with qualified mechanics or dealership service departments for a thorough inspection, discuss reported cases to aid diagnostics, and explore warranty options for repair costs.
