squeeking from front right wheel(balljoints)
I had this problem about a month ago(squeeking when the car bounces up and down) and then it went away,today it came back and i went to my mechanic,he told me it's the ball joint,maybe upper maybe lower,so i'm gonna buy both for both sides cause i don't feel like going back in a month.Why does Honda have suck scrappy balljoints???

At 60,000 kms (37,000 mi) the right upper control arm was replaced and an alignment was necessary. I can attribute this to the bad state of roads in the Toronto area, but an Acura service tech that I know said that the problem seems to be how they manufacture ball joints now and it's not like they used to. According to him, they have been replacing a lot on the 2G lately compared to the 1G ball joints that seem to last much longer.
