I've been tracking down a sound in the right front of my 2007 MDX for like two years. I've changed struts, sway bar links and bushings, rotors and pads. I've tried everything. Today I think I may have located it but can't find this part in any schematic or diagram. It is some kind of arm attached to the control arm. Anyone know what it is?

That is part of the Sport Package, Its a range sensor.. I believe it was used for the Auto-Leveling headlights and for the ADS shocks.

In the diagrams is part of the "Auto Leveling Control" https://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/...g-control-scat

Thanks a million!

Skirmich

No problem! are you going to replace it? seems quite expensive at 200 bucks..

mrochy

No. I just removed it. The ADS shocks are gone so it wasn't doing anything anyway. Can't tell a difference either way. Still have some kind of small vibration in the front right when I drive over slight washboard surfaces. Drives me nuts. I've put my hands on nearly everything in that area of the car and can't find anything that is loose. Uggggg....

Skirmich

Do you feel a difference with the self-leveling Headlights? those parts are used for it.

mrochy

You know...I haven't noticed anything since I removed the ADS shocks a year ago. Interesting point...

You know, I have the same vibration coming from my front end when going over light bumps and washboard too. Sounds like something is loose but I can't find it. Any other ideas?
