I did a search and found some older discussions about front end squeaking but no "for sure" answers. I have 35K miles on an 03 6MT CLS. The squeak occurs with each turn of the steering wheel. When the car is parked I can replicate the sound by pushing on the driver's side front fender.

One clue: the dealer put new rotors on the car last month.

Any ideas of what to look for would be appreciated. I always like to tell the dealer what is wrong before they start ripping parts out!

Thanks,

Bad strut? Does the corner bounce a lot when you push on it? Is the strut leaking oil?

Or -- Something loose on the suspension/steering rack after the brake install. Jack it up, pull the wheel and give the whole suspension a good shake and see what's loose.

 

lower ball joints- had mine done last week under warrenty at 36k bad squeek

any trouble in 3rd gear with MT6- i have a chatter- even after new clutch-
2 others in town have same mysterious chatter- no diagnosis from dealer other than characteristic if car- straight from acura

 

hmm.. i have that exact problem, but i have coil overs. i was thinking mine sqeak because i need to wd40 them.

 

try wd40

 

my car is having the same problem .i have 17,800 miles on my car . what can the problem be .

Thanks for the advice. The dealer gets a look at it on Thursday, if it is anything worthwhile I will repost.

I had the same problem, and the dealership said they tightened bolts on the sub frame. Who knows if thats BS or not. I haven't heard the squeek in 25k.

chatter problem........
i have the same shatter probelm in 3rd, 4th, & 5th. sometimes 2nd. had the problem since about 500 mi. have 8K now. i have also been told that the problem is due to acura's ass-hole engineers insuring that this trans is the shittiest design on the market. nothing you can do but suffer with these cheap-ass things.
