Anyone else: Clunk over small sharp bumps but not big ones

EuroMechanicish6Community StarterJul 15, 20262023 Acura Integra A-SpecNew York
2023 Acura Integra A-Spec, about 4,800 miles. There is a single clunk from the front over small potholes and driveway edges. Big smooth bumps don't reproduce it. End links look intact. Any good way to isolate strut mount vs sway-bar link vs control-arm bushing? Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

New-model numbers always look better than curb weight and tire size. Check whether your 2023 Acura Integra VIN is actually in the affected batch before you plan a dealer day. That's where I'd start. On “clunk over small sharp bumps but not,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I'd wait for the actual TSB/recall population, not the headline. On a 2023 Acura Integra, I'd care more about the remedy and downtime than the press wording. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2023 Acura Integra in New York with 4,800 miles. Was this after sitting overnight? Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
