Bob, I don't know if this will be helpful to you at all, and sorry if my
terminology is off, but I was having some clunking sounds that I
couldn't figure out. Earlier, I'd been told that one sound I would hear
occasionally was the brake pads shifting (I think. :-/ ) This was not
the same sound and it was intermittent--I couldn't pinpoint a specific
incidence when it happened. Took a service guy for a ride -- we didn't
get out of the parking lot before he heard it and identified it. Turns
out that my left front strut was decomposing from within (I think that's
what the guys said). They replaced both front struts and realigned the
wheels. CRV E, auto transmission, 4WD; 5000 miles, purchased May 28,
2003. FWIW.
