Hi, I have a clunking in the front and rear of my 98 CR-V when going over bumps. After reading all the posts I could find on this topic, it appears that this problem in the front is caused by either the sway bar bushings, end links, or tie rod ends. For the rear, either the bushings or end links. So, I drove the car up on ramps and took a look underneath. Regarding the tie rod ends, I am able to move them and make them clunk. They are not real loose but there is a little bit of grease coming out of the boots. The bushings look good and the end links look good and appear tight, but, as others have reported, its hard to tell if they are bad. So, looking for suggestions on what to replace first. I am inclined to try the tie rod ends, but, others have not said that replacing these has solved the problem. It always seems like the end links are the culprit. For the rear, I am inclined to replace the bushings and the end links but thought I’d ask for advice. That’s for any help you can provide. larry
