Default New Problem with 2003 HCH

My car has starting making a clunking noise at low speeds over bumps around my front passenger tire area. It doesn't really make any noise above 20mph. Anyone here have that problem?

Yea, I did. Got down there and poked around and found that the front sway bar tie link had busted at the weld.

Honda replaced, no charge.

Thanks for the quick reply. What makes me think if I take this into Honda they are going to charge me a lot to fix this problem??

Is it something that I should get fixed, or can I live with it?

You might want to get down there and remove the sway bar so it doesn't break lose sometime or get snagged on a rock or something and come loose. Personally I'd get it fixed as the handling and probably (though I'm just guessing) the rigidity of the underside of the engine compartment will be compromised.

Thanks for the advice, I'll get someone to look at it.
