just got my civic past it's first winter and i noticed a squeaking noise coming from the passenger rear suspension..
i thought it was my bushings.. so i checked for damage.. none.. so i lubed all of them..

noise still there..

so i parked my car at home one day and started to bounce my rear suspension..
and it sounds like its coming from the passenger rear strut mounts...

does any have this problem with their 7th gen?

im planning on taking off my struts and checking the bushings on the strut mounts..

any advice guys???

mine turned out to be the bump stop squeaking when it moved along the strut. i put a tiny bit of suspension grease in it and it solved the problem

we have the exact problem!!!

i greased all the 6 bushings on each side like crazy but it is still squeaking loud...im guessing its the rear upper mounts

well for me, i had this problem for MONTHS till i had a chance to install a rsx-s sway bar from my friend and i guess it was the sway bar bushings because after i installed and applied lube....BAM it went away. so.... maybe lube sway bushings?

i think we do have the same problem... lol
so.. i removed the lining from the trunk and just sprayed on the bushing..
still squeaking like mad..
so.. tomorrow im going to take off the struts and remove the upper strut mount bushings to see if i need to replace that annoying SOB.

i'll keep you guys updated.

probably wouldnt work for me cause i hear my squeaking right where the rear upper strut mounts are..

but i do need to upgrade my sway bar..

take some brake cleaner....and spray it and clean it....then take some WD40 and lithium greese, and spray it.

mine was squeeking as well, did that and it stopped..

1 there is a tsb for this

2. if u have a rubber camber kit, its the camber kit, trust me, ive been through this, fixed with a grease needle and a grease gun

well i was having the same problem but i found what was making the sound...it was the poly-urethane camber kit and you really need to grease it from the inside...it was really hard in the beginning but i got it done...now no more sound!!!!

yeah, also front bushings can still be heard when just the rear of the car goes over bumps since the front susp still moves.

i decided to lube the **** out of the rear link and the noise went away for a week!
but today when i raise my civic up to check for wheel bearings..

the noise came back.. just when i drove onto my drive way..


anyone have experience with replacing front wheel bearing?

here are my suggestions from my experience:
Endlinks if they are not contained in a housing will squeak -loud, a lot and annoying -if not greased or loss of grease.
sway bar bushings will squeak if not greased or loss of grease.
