2012 Acura TSX 4dr Wagon

201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD

17700 mi A clunk sound began to appear from the right front, going over bumps which really extended the suspension. Does not come from left. Dealer said they found something to tighten up, and noise went away. Pretty much the most minimal of repairs. 
27800 mi Symptom was a clunk when right front suspension extended a lot. Hard to reproduce, but dealer tried extra hard and did. Was TSB out on this, some parts replaced. Would have been 1500 if out of warranty, they told me. 
66000 mi Replaced right front wheel bearing.
