be concerned about the thud sound you hear though, this could be just bushings which can be replaces cheaply withing doing any shock changes.
Once i replaced the broken sway link bar, the car has no sway at all. I'm not sure about the thunk. Hit any bump, especially those giant speed bumps in parking lot fast enough and you will hear stuff, especially since this generation CR-V doesn't exactly have much road noise dampers. I guess i will jack it up when the jack gets here and see if i can move anything in the suspension. Thanks.
