Default PROBLEM STILL NOT SOLVING by DEALER

To professional guys:

When I drive over the Bump I can hear "Clo Clo" sound from passenger front underneath. But Service technicians are not solve it out. I have been there for this problem almost 6 times...

Problem: drive slowly passing the bump and sound will go "Clo Clo" under passenger side.
Technicians work: Put oil in the rear and front sway bar. tight all the suspension front and rear.
Technician comments: cannot hear the sound after work

P.S. sometimes you can hear but sometimes you won't hear..
If you go over the right bump then you will hear that.......


*** BUT I CAN STILL HEAR THE SOUND when I pass the bump or drive slowly(20km) in the very Rough road.



Sad driver

Are you braking when this happens? The reason I ask is when I was first driving my Civic Si (first car I had with ABS) if I went over bumps while slightly compressing the brake pedal, the ABS would chatter away. The first time I heard it it freaked me out until I discovered what it was. Granted I haven't driven my S yet so I don't know whether this happens to all ABS cars, but it sounds like what you're describing. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I've read that a loose spare tire makes a sound similar to this. It has to be secured real tight, otherwise it can make a clunking sound. You may have checked this already, but just a suggestion.
