So the warranty ran out and it looks like I'm not covered under the powertrain. I guess these 10th gens have a lot of issues with the struts which really is a shame. Just looking for some feedback on what others have experienced and what I'm in for when I take it to the dealer.

I would say that you buy your struts through an authorized Honda online store or rock auto then bring it to them to have it installed. You’ll be able to save more if the dealership that you’re going will not to do a price match for the struts.

I've got a lot of clanging and banging coming from the rear so I figured the struts could be leaking but I suppose the shocks need to be replaced as well.
Just like Sparkplugs, light bulbs, and engine bearings: If it's time to replace one, go ahead and replace them all for safety assurances
