squeaking suspension
Tuesday, March 07, 2006 8:21 AM
yea so my suspension in the front is squeaking really bad when i go over bumps. it used to not be so bad but now it's really noticable and have no idea of how to get rid of it. I tried spraying silicone spray but i don't know if i sprayed the right spot. GM wants to charge 92 bucks to look at it and I don't know if it's covered by my warranty cause I don't know whats wrong, but it's getting really annoying, any kind of help would be appreciated

My old Civic hatch used to squeak over bumps... I took a look under there and it was because I had a broken coil spring and it was rubbing together lol.. This probably isn't the case with yours though.

Would you be able to have a friend walk right beside your car as you go over a bump and try to see where the noise is coming from? It would be worth a shot before taking it for service.

usually squeaking/creeking/clunking noises when going over bumps are signs of bad strut mounts

I got the car a year ago. so I havn't. It had a slight squeak when I got it but i thought nothing of it. it's been getting progressivly worse though. when i called up the service dept. i asked them how much a lube job was and I told them what the problem was and they told me a lube was an oil change? i just changed my oil 2 months ago. but i'm pretty sure a lube job has something to do with the suspension right?

Have the same issue with my 02. Sounds kinda like someone left a wrench somewhere and it's rubbing. Turned out to be the strut mounts. May not be your issue but it's worth looking into.
