Replaced the strut assemblies myself and then went to a shop to have alignment, I didn't add the alignment to the cost of the repair!

I just purchased this vehicle last week as a certified honda. My wife and I noticed the clunking sound coming from the right side first, mainly at slow speeds. Honda dealer said that there really is no fix? They could change the struts but it will just do it again? Something about greasing the struts and tightening a bolt? It sounds like a brush off move to me. The service writer did mention that they have had several complaints on the same issue and they're hoping Honda comes up with a fix.

I am extremely annoyed with a constant clunking sound when I turn my van!! I had this problem looked at by Honda before my van's warranty expired and they said it was a damper that needed lubing. Great, problem solved? No, because it's 6 months later and the sound has reappeared. Ugh!! I love my van but this is really annoying. In addition, one of my trim pieces came loose on the front window. It's held together with a cheap piece of double sided tape!! C'mon HONDA, let's get our act together!!
