In a 2012 Honda Pilot, front-end noise can originate from various sources, so you'll need to identify the specific type of noise first. Given that the engine is situated at the front of the vehicle, the noise is often linked to it. A noisy engine may indicate issues like low oil levels, worn lifters, or using low-quality fuel. Alternatively, the noise could be related to suspension or brake components. Suspension noise is typically caused by a failing part such as a shock absorber, strut, ball joint, or tie rod end. If the noise intensifies over bumps or is more noticeable at certain speeds, brake or bearing issues could be the culprit, as noises coming from the front wheels can be mistaken for front end noise.

    You might hear a knocking or clunking sound coming from the front suspension, likely caused by worn stabilizer bar links. To resolve this issue, it is recommended to replace both stabilizer bar links.
