Acura RDX clunking sound in suspension possibly due to worn sway bar links on Acura RDX

Problem overview

Some Acura RDX owners report experiencing a clunking sound in the suspension, which may be attributed to worn sway bar links. This issue can arise from wear, damage, or looseness in the sway bar links or bushings, leading to noticeable clunking noises when driving over bumps. Since sway bar links are essential for connecting the sway bar to the chassis and maintaining better tire contact with the road, compromised links can result in excessive movement and metal-to-metal contact with other suspension components, exacerbating the noise. Owners are advised to have their sway bar links inspected and replaced if necessary to ensure the proper functioning of their vehicle's suspension system.
