Squeeky Creeky Steering/Turning from 92 Accord
I have an annoying creeking/squeeking noise coming from my suspension
area in the front. It only happens when I turn the wheels... any idea on what this is? I heard it could be bushings, or I need a new strut. I dont think its my strut though. Any help is appreciated! |

I had the same thing happen with my '93 Accord. It could be bushings, though. And your car has shocks and springs, not struts. But I doubt they are the cause of the noise anyway. |

I had a similar squeak which turned out to be the bushings....but it was a constant squeak....also very annoying. You could try to spray the bushings with silicon lubricant spray....that should do the trick BluJ |

If so, get the lower ball joint checked and replaced before this happens: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/lower...int/index.html -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Given your symptoms, failure to get it checked out could be a hair-raising experience. Trust me on that. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

I probably burned them out when my left side caliper was sticking..... causing my rotor to overheat and warp causing the wheel to shake... that over 2 months I imagine took a toll on the whole left wheel assembly; ball joints, tie rod, busings etc... Now how much for these lower ball joints... ? |

honda sells em for $70 a piece, you can get aftermarket for much cheaper...
But I have found that they rust alot sooner than OEM. 85miles wrote: >> > I still have the squeak, I'm beginning to think it is in my front >> > shocks... but they ride fine, just that annoying squeak whenever I >[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> >> The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQwww.tegger.com/hondafaq/ > >It sounds like it could be my lower ball joints tegger...
