Hi All :

Anyone had a creak/moan that happens when the suspension travels up and down ? I can even reproduce it by bouncing up and down on the fender. Is there a part I can quickly lubricate without taking off the wheel ? (I know, faint hope...)

On a related note, earlier I had the car in for a oil change at one of those cheap quickie places and they told me the Acura has no suspension grease points. Is this true ?

Thanks to all once again for your help.

Mine has a frog too. I lubed the bushings but that didn't fix the problem. My shocks are like new and I took them out and they are still good. Not sure where else to find. I checked every joint and they are good, and all nuts and bolts are tight.

 

might depend on the material used for the bushings - through other sources, I've heard complaints about urethane bushings being squeaky in applications where they twist, and neoprene is better - maybe a guru here would know what Honda used......(?)

 

Urethane bushing squeaks can always be quieted by frequent grease lubrication or teflon tape wrapping.

 

Lower ball joints.

 

My car has had this noise for about 5 years - only when it's cold - it doesn't do it when you push on the suspension. I assumed its the springs "creaking" because of the cold temp outside.

Unless you're talking about the frog noise you get a few seconds after you put the car into drive or reverse.......i still haven't figured out what that one is, but mine has been doing that for over 9 years.

 

I think that is the ABS self Check. When this noise happens it runs the ABS for about a sec.
