Rep Power: 0 drivers side wheel well creaking?Is this true?
i have 02 civic ex, whenever i slowly brake or turn sharply to my left my wheel well creaks/squeaks...
ive done research and read that it maybe some kind of bushing that needs greasing..ive also read that 02 civic bushings dont have grease joints for a grease gun, but theyre internal...
therefore you have to replace the whole bushing..is this all true?? how much is the bushing approximately?? and is it something i can do myself or do i have to go through dealership and have them rape me for labor?? me and my dad are pretty diy capable, as long as its not something really difficult..
all replies will be thanked!!! Thank you ahead of time

mine creaks like crazy but i have the ES poly bushings. the oem rubber ones sometimes squeak, but usually they just fall apart lol. chances are yours are torn and messed up. its easy to see them looking under the car. and no you cant grease them on the car. just get the es bushings so you wont have to worry about replacing again.

thanks gearbox for the reply..so yours are still creaking with the ES bushings?? but yeah i have checked the bushings out..at least the ones behind the tire..like i took my wheel off to check out behind it and the bushings i saw there seemed fine.. there are more bushings towards the top of the wheel well though right?? also where could i get this checked out?? if i go to a dealership will they charge me just to check it out???
