Si coupe driver side suspension makes clinking noise when going over bumps

[185sav]

I drive a 2017 Civic si coupe with 19k miles and recently I’ve noticed a clinking or like tapping noise coming from the driver side of the car. It’s not crazy loud but it’s definitely noticeable as a noise the car shouldn’t be making. The car is still under warranty so I booked an appointment at my Honda dealer but has anyone had this problem and found a solution? I don’t want the Honda service to just re-torque a few bolts and give the car back to me so I’m hoping I can give them an idea of where the sound is exactly coming from. Thanks for any help!

probably swaybar linkage.

Also, the top hat of strut can be bad

It's probably the brake pad and brake rotor making noise. it's a common issue that Honda tries to deny. Drive over a series of small bumps repeatedly and see if the noise goes away when you're breaking lightly.

Is it like this?

Bump…this is the sound I’ve been hearing and had the dealership check it out twice with no outcome. Has this issue been found and resolved yet?

No resolution. The dealer wanted to continue working on it but Honda refused to cover any more warranty payments on the work. So I just decided to live with it.

That’s unfortunate, I’ll end up working on it myself when I get a chance and report back if anything. It might just be a hit or miss issue with the way these calipers were designed.
