Last year I would get a squeaky noise - like creaky stairs when it got really cold out over bumps and when steering coming from the drivers front wheel area. It went away in the spring. This winter it's there louder, and all the time.

It could be the ball joint, this car only has a lower, could be one of the bushings or the strut or strut mount.

I just sprayed half a can of grease into the top of the strut and strut bearing area.

Anyone have experience of this?

Probably the strut tower mount needs to be changed the plastic and rubber pieces of the bump stop.

After about 200km of driving the noise went away.
I assume the grease got to it

Wow

I was worried about mine because its originally from Florida...but in comparison I don't guess I should be worrying about that at this point (2008 RDX Base with 131k miles)






Not sure what this dark coloring is on it though...

I wonder if I have the roughest one.

Yours looks a year old.

Dark coloring looks like oil or rustproofing, I see oil on you transmission cross member if you zoom in on it in the middle of the first Pic.

The TMIC is for sale it is listed in marketplace.

I got rid of the RDX.

it had some more life but we are getting mandated annual inspections.

It would never pass ​​with the rust and no cats, so driving it into the ground would be impossible to do. I believe the buyer is shipping it overseas.

Liked it very much and may get another in the future.
