Help - Suspension Creaking
recently after putting on my winter hubs and tires i have noticed that my suspension is creaking only when i make left turns. it makes a sound almost like something is rolling around in the trunk when there is absolitly nothing in there and the spare is securly tightened down. all of the rims are correctly torqued, so that is not the problem. i do not think it has to to with the hubs on there now. does anyone have any idea what this is? will it be covered under warrenty if i take it to Honda?

i believe it is due to the fact it is getting colder. i first lowered my car in the dead of winter last year and it creaked terribly and i thought it was the springs, once it got remotely warm (50 degrees +) the creaking went away. it didnt come back again even when i put my stock si wheels back on until recently when the weather got colder again. today however, it is 54 degrees and no mroe creaking, but last thurseday it was creaking like crazy when it was only 41 degrees.
4bangin, you might have a worn out rear bushing, as covered in the attached TSB...

well, i took it to honda today and it was my exhaust piping hitting against my rear sway bar. they put some rubber tube around the sway bar so it wouldn't hit as hard and make a loud noise. so far it has worked.
