2008 TSX, it's garage-kept and stays pretty dry. 186k miles. The primary driver is not me - she tends to drive pretty sedately and gets ~32mpg, but tends to throw it through corners.

Noise started this afternoon. Both sides of the front end squeak - loudly - over bumps. Can duplicate it by pushing the car up and down - sounds like it's coming from just behind the wheel.

Any thoughts about what it might be? I thought pretty much everything under there was in L/R pairs, so both sides getting cranky at once I'm afraid will be... expensive.

Thanks!

Anti-sway bar bushings are known to squeak when dry. You can elevate front end on jack stands and jack individual wheel while observing sway bar bushings for squeak.

good luck

This is a common noise with lower ball joint wear.

I'm guessing it also makes noise when the wheels are turned side to side (but only when the car is sitting with wheels on the ground)?

Update: Well, the steering seemed ok. But since the mechanic said we were due for some other work, there were some cosmetic issues, and the total bill came out to more than the car was worth, she traded it in instead.
