Last 2-3 weeks I have bad noise cooming from front suspension when i hit bump at 25-30mph.My dealer don't see nothing wrong with the car and blame my 19" wheels. When I check my car by my self I notice "wet struts". grease, oil over struts and under rubber but.Can this be leak from struts? Can You guys please let me know if Your"s struts are dry or wet like mine so I can come back to the dealer and ask them to replace it. My car is 2005 with only 12K miles. Can struts go bad this fast? Thank You.

I had a strut mount replaced under warranty in my '05RL at an Acura dealer...at least this is what they said they replaced...

In any event, the noise being generated sounded, from the inside of the car, like it was coming from the dash innards...a loud squeaking.

Pushing down on the front bumper revealed a metal to metal scraping sound coming from the wheel area.

I never looked at the strut so can't comment its condition. At that time they had been supposedly working on the brake rattles/clanking in that specific area every time I took the car in...they never mentioned any problems with the struts.

I would suggest that those here who have knowledge about these things to take a look at the struts on their RL's.
