Well, as I make slow turns or U-turns, I can hear a slow creaking sound coming from my front wheels... any idea what this could be?

Alex, do you hear the creaking when you go over bumps too, or just turns?

agranado

im pretty sure it's just turns. I'll keep an ear open though

Motohip

It happens when you slowly accelerate while turning? Yeah, same here. There's a service bulletin about it. Although I think mine went away after I lowered my car.

nippon_wa

i hear some sound too.. i thought it was because of my springs and stock shocks.. so i changed to TEIN SS. but i still hear sound... maybe more worse..

and i went to shop to ask.. and all they said were "because u droppd ur car"

i hear it when i go over bump or turns.. only front wheels tho.. especially front left..

Shaggz2Dope

i think i read somthing like this beofre....maybe its a control arm....i think rubbing was involved.

get the lower ball joints checked

xxx

It was happenin to me and had it fixed yesterday, it was my bushings. I had them all replaced for free. The shop manager found a way to put the bushings under a warranty.

ajbent86

C/V joints, happened to me on my accord, not too expensive to fix if u go to autozone and get a rebuilt one, then they give u most of ur money back when you take your old one back to them.

agranado

I bought the car used... it only has 60,6xx. think i can get a warranty change straight from a dealer down here or am I buying some new pieces?

nippon_wa

xxx only bushing? i asked my shop and they said it would be lke $200 plus parts-_-;

and.. what's the parts number for bushing? is there anything i should change together?

cl_jay

$200

my mechanic charged me $30 for the parts and labors, he did it right in front of me. it took like 25 min

ju5tchi11in

yeah might be CV happens to mine... my passenger side front suspension is all fucked up not to mention stupid ass pot holes bent a rim and have been riding on the spare for a month.

upper ball joints....everything is suspect when you lower the car...but for me it was definetly the upper ball joints. cv boots mighta blown and sand and grit coulda gotten into your cv axles....that might be the noise....jack up the car and look at all your bushings etc....take a pic and post and we'll tell ya what it is

nippon_wa

i think mine is because of bushing.. if so, what's the part numbers? and what's for the upper ball joints if it's cuz of that? yeah ur right, since my car is lowered, don't know which it is..

Shaggz2Dope

about the creaking sound...does it sound like a scraping sound....duh.....

check to see if there is any wear or marks...

push down on the car to see if it makes the noise...try to pinpoint the noise with a friend

just some Q's to help...

sumdumguy

wilp99

sup mofo how was the trip?? good i hope.

u still gonna sell the trunk setup? oh yea i got 3rd in a sound bass off 2 weeks ago. not too bad huh.. ne ways hit me up..

oh yea back to the subject, mine started bout a week after i dropped my car. it was the strut. but it only did it going over bumps. actually it still does it cause i havent replaced them yet. really sucks to be po pimpin.

d5c5b

thats awsome will. im still over here in rome....and ya, im savin the trunk for ya. hat subs and amp are you rockin to be gettin 3rd in some show!?? later`

roddymerritt

Is it popping or creaking. If it popping then its your control arms. If its creaking it could be control arm bushings, leaking or bad shock/strut, or if you have a camber kit I hear that that make noise.

nippon_wa

so, when u hear creaking sounds, it's either control arm bushings or upper ball joints? what are they? where are they? and how much are they? and where can i get them

dang.. i really hate hearing creaking sound every time i drive.. it drives me crazy!!

actually, i hear more after i changed my suspension from neuspeed to tein ss..

nippon_wa

^what does that mean? we get it fixed for free?

Motohip

No, just means they know about it. Only Safety Recalls get repaired for free.

sumdumguy

basically"oh well"

nippon_wa

didn't wanna make a thread again..so...

well.. i was gonna buy those things from that website..

but.. what i'm wondering is that...

i have a TEIN SS setup which is coilovers w/ shocks..

then, do those things(stock bushings) still fit w/ tein ss setup??

or should i order bushings from tein?

sumdumguy

my "guess" would be yes. but the Tien route would be a safe bet

bravo97cl

mine was making the same sound, my mechanic said it was the bushing i think that he just flipped it over and it stopped. not exactly sure if thats what he did but it might be worth a try.

DivineCL

C/V Joints

nippon_wa

yes, i was gonna change the bushings.. but i have completely tein SS suspension setup..

so.. changing STOCK bushing is kinda different than mine.. (cuz i have aftermarket shocks..tein ss)

i wanted to know if stock bushings would also fit in tein ss setup..


ha?

Sacramento CL

I was having squeaks from the front end. I heard it was everything from bushings to CV joints to ball joints. Turns out my Koni's blew prematurely. Got me a new set, and noise went away. 3 weeks later, a new sound starts - it's the wear sensors in the front brakes. I shouldn't complain, my oem pads lasted 80,000 miles.

sumdumguy

^daaamn! 80,000
