it could be anything from your springs to the bird nest. need more details of the car, mods, when it occured, etc.

its more than likely your springs i get the same noise but now i have a type s sway bar and it makes more noise since it needs to be greased up, small price to pay for handling but then again my radio kills 99% of the noise my car makes anyway

it could also be your clutch cylinder. mine makes squeaky noises whenever it feels like it.

honda dealers can "fix your problem" but expect high prices considering its the dealership. i would take it to a shop that specializes in suspension/body work.

describe the sound.

Yep, they'll say since u modded the car its not covered under warranty. No matter what the mod is.

for example; you install and intake, and your door locks get stuck going up and down sometimes

Honda dealer response: "your warranty does not cover that" LOL



ok, maybe it won't be that bad, but they'll still try to avoid fixing your problem.

i know what youre talking about. i had this sound a couple of weeks ago. it went away for a while, but it came back this week. i think (for me), its because the car isn't fully warmed up? i dunno.

btw..do you get the same squeaking sound when youre in drive and you release the gas pedal?

have someone else reverse the car and then find out where exactly the noise is coming from. my car has done that twice before i think both times it was in the front wheels. is it a sharp loud noise like a metal to metal grinding? i think mine was a rock or something that got stuck somewhere because each time had hella gravel on the ground.

its not becuase the car is or isnt warmed up. it always makes the sound. and yes it makes a squicking sound while i drive forward too.

when i reverse the sound is like a sharp loud squicking noise. but when i start to drive forward it starts to make a metal to metal grinding sound. im guessing i need to replace my brake pads or something.

sounds like the same exact thing that happened to me. mine stopped by just throwing it in reverse, driving for a second(kinda fast) stopping, putting it in drive go forward. i repeated it about twice and it stopped, may not have been the bast thing to do but i figured it was a rock and thats the only way to get it out...
