new here, just had a front end question about my ’99 crv. the
passenger side has a pronounced "clunk" when hitting a small to
medium sized bump in the road. the shop/lot i bought it from in may
’04 said they replaced that ball joint and it got better but it is
still there to some degree. any thoughts? thanks in advance.

I have the same problem with my 97 CRV. Dealer said I needed
stabilizer bars to be changed. I have not had it replaced yet so
I do not know whether it would fix the problem.

Different year, but might be the same fix:

I had the same problem with my '97 V. Ended up being the front stabilizer
links one on each side. It was like driving a new car!

Hi, I had a similar experience just like yours with my 99 CRV. I spent a
lot of money with so many guesing works in so many repairing shops.
Finally this problen caused by harden and loosen mounting rubber parts
with the stabilizer bar support. You may simply change the rubbers part
or just add some rubber pieces between the bar and old parts.
