I'm a happy and proud owner of a civic Ep2 and its reliability. I noticed a clunking noise from the suspension months ago, and my mechanic changed the front wishbones because the silentblocks were broken in both sides. As a result the suspension has become stiffer than ever.
On my way to work there's lot of potholes and the road is in bad condition in general. Driving the same way with my mother's Suzuki Swift and I barely notice noises.
But with my everyday Civic I end up angry and annoyed with the constant clunks that come from the suspension. The dampers are only 5yo so it cant be the problem. I dont know if to come back to the mechanic, probably he'll be annoyed.

Thes days I'm overthinking to change the car and buy another comfy, less sporty one like a C4 /DS4 or a Astra J, since all hondas, fords, mazdas have a hard suspension and I'm tired of suffering it.

Advices welcome, what would you do in my situation?
