Its the back absorber bushing.

I kena before. Change one of the back absorber bush. The slight knocking sound isnrantly gone lol.

Is the sound like this?

check the suspension coil rubber seat, most likely the culprit....

Haha those people who recently bought HRV gen 4 are up into some issues down the road. My GF uncle owns one and already complained got sound, LOL. Nice on the outside but quality dog..
Till now, I haven't found the issue, went to 4 Workshops and reinstalled the absorbers a couple of times, but the sound is still there. The only things I could think of were engine mountings, drive shaft, and roll bar bush (currently using OEM, but I bought ORI when getting other parts, and will install them this Thursday). I went to the extreme to install a cam to see what's knocking, but haven't figured out where is it coming from.

Yup, today I went and replaced my lower arm a second time, and so far, no sound.. The previous one, the bushing was not that good even tho used for about 1 year (OEM).

So far sound has been little to none and feel more rigidt there are some lose sound but dk is lower arm or drive shaft, haven't really test it. Will update in a day or so. Need to go through my usual bumps.

Hi, Hi, sorry, no time update, haha.

So far, it is better; there is no sound*, and it feels solid.
*There is still a loose sound/clunking sound occasionally on uneven roads. I will bring it back and ask them to tighten it to see if it helps. But in the meantime, I will continue to monitor.

TLDR: Not sure if I've mentioned previously. So what happened is, during the removal of the previous OEM lower arm, which was done in another WS - April 2023, the foremen told me that the driver side one of the bolts was loose and, by hand, didn't need the impact gun, he removed the bolt LOL. So, I believe this was one of the causes of the loose sound/feeling. Another issue was when, during an emergency break, the wheel would shake before coming to a stop. This means that the rubber was indeed soft.

In summary, get a good, knowledgeable WS who won't cheap out on parts (Recommend - Arief Auto Solutions "Setapak") - I can't imagine if the bolt came loose and dropped out while driving...

But I think no matter what, you will still get some sounds here and there unless you go back to the original, which is more expensive (~ RM 300 OEM vs ~ RM 700 Ori) or change to aftermarket parts like solid bushings.

Also, if the sound is very annoying or loud or you always need to drive outstation, do check; if not, leave it. Because after so many checking/changes, I found out the total cost for me is 50% enough to put in a deposit for a new car, LOL. Now for me, after I change the tensioner and CVT filter, I will be looking to sell the car in the next 2/3 years' time and never return to Honda till they fix their QC.

Note: It may sound expensive, but it is also because I itchy hand go for Tein absorbers, which are pricey.

Hopefully, no need to sell, haha, but will see how. Just hope the CVT will last. Yes, the sound is from the lower arm. Now go over the bump no more sound. But occasionally, there is.. Not sure if is drive shaft or other things. But will get it tightened again. Steering just changed I think last year. So far checked by mechanic still feel ok.

So far never heard the same sound anymore, just occasionally some hitting sound don't know from where. Maybe you can try recording the sound.
