Mine have that “krakk” sounds when going over bump and rattling on uneven road?
Could it be stabiliser bar bush too?

Most likely not.
if stabilizer bush the sound is squeaking sound.

have u changed it?

Just put grease that compatible with rubber.

If me, I use used engine oil to sapu only. Let it soaked.

OK also, FOC

Honda? Maybe the steering rack... Try turning your steering wheel left and right, if got a knocking sound.... well prepare your wallet.

Also, might be an issue with absorber bearings, stabilizer bush, or absorber link...

FYI, the lower arm, and stabilizer bush are easy to verify. Just fully turn your steering wheel and use your phone to take a picture to check for cracks.

Looks good right? I suspect my shocks now.
Was wondering should I go back to sc to check.
Or any recommended workshop?

best way is to go to tyre shop and ask them to check

Gonna agree with mingyuyu... the best way is to go tyre shop and check if you are not sure. Because even though there are no signs of cracks, the inner part might be bad.

Also, if your car is still under warranty (Honda 5 Years - engine, gearbox & steering rack etc. | 3 Years - Break, Suspension etc). Yes, it would be best if you go back SC. If not, ask SC to do the checking and ask them to list out the part that can claim warranty, go out to change if cannot claim.

But SC sometimes won't give you exact detail of what is gone, they usually ask you to change the whole car... But it's also good to self-verify or find reputable workshops... Because from my experience with SC, they didn't inform me my steering rack is gone after multiple test drives by them. Till I complained and pointed out steering rack got sound only, they proceeded to properly check and claim.

If SC I recommended HZN Shah Alam, overall, they are more straightforward instead of others like Kepong, give you a 10k bill to replace the whole suspension LoL.
If Damansara - Uptown Tyre
IF Kajang - SC Automotive (They do more HRVs but City also can)
Others not sure.. can try FB community groups for eg: honda city

I haven’t go check yet. Maybe this weekend.
But from the look, is it stabiliser link spoilt?

Yea.. from the looks of it. Also, from the pic, it looks like your absorber might be leaking, if yes, then absorber also gone

I went to check at some shop and was told the sound is from steering rack. When they gently knock on the rack end, there’s some sound from steering rack. Was quoted 700+ for a China brand rack. Worth it?

stabilizer link with worn rubber bush can create that sound, my first gen old vios has that and fixed after i changed the stabilizer link. But I end up changing all shock absorbers and shock mountings with ori ones to eliminate all the small noises before. It runs great now (i did previously changed the lower arm and steering linns etc with ori too)

most bush starts to worn after 10 years

If budget, try to get half cut - because they are cheaper and ori, OEM Thai - Also ok, not sure about OEM china... Sounds like it might not last long
If budget not an issue - New Ori
If repair - Might not last

Or maybe try a different workshop haha

Cough cough... Mine 5 years 70k already replace all except the stabilizer link.

my car got knocking sound.... turn parking got knock sound... jialat already

Turn steering left and right for sound？could be steering rack also

yeah, turn left or right, every now and then will get a "tok" knocking sound

Sohai TS thinks he’s smarter than mechanic
