Hello to all my fellow CR-V owners,

I have recently noticed a clunking noise coming from the front of my vehicle, which seems to disappear when the brakes are applied.
I have jacked it up and had a good look around and can see nor feel anything worn or loose, I also fitted new rubber bushes on the anti sway bar, but then noise is still there, does anyone out there have any suggestions as to what might be causing this??

Torque everything down after weight is back on suspension? Important for antiswaybar stuff. Could be part of it.

sway bar links are the cause most of the time. Also is there any play on the brake pads? up and down loose in the bracket

check the sway bar and the lower control arm bushings

Sounds like its possibly worn ball joints. That's the symptoms my daughters CRV had and I knew the tie rod ends needed to be replaced. When I removed the tie rod ends, I noticed how bad the ball joints were. I replaced the complete control arm assembly which came with the ball joint and bushings for about $30 - $40 a piece. Not hard to do at all.
