Annoying noise
I think I have the most annoying sound coming from my rear suspension. I've searched a bunch of previous threads on this and I can't seem to find a clear cut answer. That might be because their isn't one. I recently lowered my CL on sportlines and I heard a small noise from the rear. Nothing bad just everyonce in a while when I hit a major bump. I put the ingalls camber kit on all 4 wheels and now I have a squeaking noise that is almost unbearable. I had it aligned today and it still is just as bad. The alignment guy thinks it might be the bushing in the top of our struts. The one in the strut mount. He said I should take it apart and put some lube in it and see if that works. I know alot of people have had this problem but if someone has solved it please let me know. I would rather not take my suspension back apart but if that's what it takes then i will. Any advice or help would be awesome.

While many say its the control arm hitting the fenderwell, it has been found that the sound could come from the springs "clapping" against each other. To fix this, Honda sells spring tubing to pad the springs. The pics will explain the rest:
The tubing itself. You'll need two pieces per wheel at roughly 3 dollars a piece from the Acura dealer (or maybe less at the Honda dealer).
The result of bad camber (this is from rotating the front tires, btw)
The red rectangle shows where the progressive part of the spring is. According to Eibach, the tubing should go on the middle two coils of the progressive part of the spring (highlighted in blue)
Finally the tubing on the spring itself.
What the spring looks like under normal load with the new padding.
And finally how the car sits with the new padding. It doesn't really sit any higher than without the tubing, which is a good thing.
All in all, this is an easy project that costs about 10-12 dollars. The hardest part of this project is probably jacking up the car (I went ghetto and used the stock jack).
Thanks for looking!
