i got H&R springs...and i heard the squeeks before i got the springs....but i took it to acura and they said it was comming from the rear struts. But i think they are BS'ing so they don't have to fix it. It's squeek is usually on and off...it usually happened at night, when the car is cool/cold, but it hasn't been happening lately...i think it's mostly comming from the rear deck

I agree with AcuraTLFan. I've taken my car into 2 dealerships and they haven't fixed it yet. At present it's at my original dealership and they are giving it their 2nd attempt to fix. Some of the things suspected were:

bushings at the bottom of the seats (replaced)
Seat clip (????)

The noise gets extremely loud and annoying and it appears to be coming from the rear window to me too!

I'll report if this 4th attempt to repair works.

hey tl4mo,

how did you report this problem to acura? how did you describe it? will they give you any BS if you have comptech springs ???...thx

I just noticed a subtle squeak over real bumpy roads, it sounded like it was coming from the back seat, but when I opened the trunk and kinda pushed on the bracket that holds the NAVI, I DUPLICATED the sound! I haven't tried to fix it yet since I only heard it once and it was extremely subtle, but you may want to check it out. Maybe all that's needed is a tightening of the screws.

Paultl,

All I mentioned (w/both dealerships) was "cabin creaks" and told them where I thought they were coming from. The first time I mentioned it (to Gunn Acura), they sent a service guy with me to drive it while he sat in the back. Their "fix" worked for a couple of days and then the creaks were back with a vengeance. I did not get any flack from the dealership. As for your comptech springs, I don't have any so cannot answer that question. Did Acura install your springs? If so, can't see why that would be an issue. Another question, did you notice the creaks AFTER the spring install? If not, just be firm with Acura regardless of their reaction. If your answer is "yes", maybe check with the folks who installed your springs.
