I am trying to diagnose a sqeak i have which sounds like its coming from front/driver suspension. i sqeaks going over bumps and stuff but mainly at low speed, highway driving = nothing. i lubed up the bushing and balljoints and any other connecting points but it is still there. i havea few ideas , if anyone has experienced similar let me know

1. sway bar links are a bit rough ( craked ) and old.
2. CA bushing craping out
3. worn engine mounts
4. top hat from shock is loosening ( happened to me before)

i am lowered and have no camber kit ( no installed yet) , there is quite a bit of camber there. it may be contributing?

 

maybe try lubing where the spring seats onto the shock itself, i know the old 5th gen accords had a issue with that (along with a tsb too)


edit: , just noticed you are a 5th gen accord (virtually)

 

yea pretty much.

the upper and lower seats have rubber absorbers already, but i will look into that.

 

yeah i remember my 94 accord did not have lower rubber seats (or any one of those accords for that matter)


also what might help is have somebody else bounce the car up and down, as you crawl under there to try and find it (might need to drive onto a 2x4 or something to add a little bit of clearance)

 

try lubing the sway bar end links i know mine squeeked for awhile before i replaced them.

blown shocks _ ball joints?

 

what kind of lube are we talking about boys?? I had a squeak coming from the front passenger side. Hit a bump and it went away. Then about a day or so ago, i got the same sound coming from the drivers side. I mean when I get out/in my car i feel like a lard azz cause it squeaks so much.

 

i just had this happen to me...i noticed last night and today that if i listen, i can hear a squeaking noise coming from the front when i go over bumps or dips in the road...its more obvious when im parked and the door is open and im getting in and out of the car...something else is wrong and i just got brand new tires 2 days ago...FML

 

It's your bushings

 

i have the same issue and i can tell you (for me atleast) its not the end links or the UCA/balljoint assy because i replaced both recently and lubed the shit outa them with no relief from the squeekage...it would be nice to nail down where its coming from because it sounds like a common issue, please update as you gather info ppl and i will attempt the same.

 

exact same problems here

 

wierdly, my noise went away...ill have to get it checked sometime though

 

it will return....trust me mine pops up after months of being quiet...like a herpes outbreak

 

I noticed mine squeaking since I replaced the struts. I know there were a couple of those rubber bushings that the springs fit into were pretty worn when I replaced the struts but didn't have new ones so went ahead and reused them, that may be my problem since we lubed everything that had a fitting when it was in the air

 

Yep, it's the new strut bushings - I had the same problem here. Think of rubber shoe soles on a fresh-polished basketball court. A bit of silicone lube on the bushing killed the squeak straight away.
