 Clicking Sound on left front side
On the trip down to Myrtle Beach saturday I noticed that when getting on the RT and rocking it back and forth slightly, it caused a "clicking" sound from the left front side. Hard to identify where its coming from, but it feels as tho its the shock.
However, if I put my hand on the lower A Arm I can feel the vibration there also.
Has anyone else encountered this? I'll be taking it to the shop sometime this week to have it checked out.

Check the tightness of the Heim link, where it attached to the anti-swaybar, and up where it hooks to the
A-arm...

And also ensure the bolts that pass through the sway bar retaining blocks are tight. Only needs to be the slightest bit lose and one will experience what your describing. Ensure both bolts on each side are fastened. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, I think you may be on to something. I rocked it back a forth while holding my hand on the bar and Heim joints and the vibes could be felt there. There is a cover over the bar bolts that I don't want to fool with so I'll take it to the shop when I get time and let them deal with it. Getting too old to get down and do that kind of work anymore.

Shoot; I even managed to pop one of them loose without losing an eyeball! 
At 80 with bad knees, one has to rely on young techs for such things! I still do the oil & filter changes, tire pressure, and small stuff, but thats about all. I recently got a 400cc Yam scooter to play with but oil and filter on that critter is soooo easy. Been several years without a 2 wheeler and it feels good to ride one again.

I encountered this ticking noise on the right front when I drove our 2014 RTL off the lot. Took it back to dealer and it took them about 30 min to find that the ABS sensor was a little too close to the sensing disc. They made a slight adjustment and I've never heard it since.

It was the lower bolt on the left Heim joint. Took the tech at Honda Winston about 15 seconds to ident it and that many more to tighten it up. No charge and out the door.
