fyi-rear suspension squeak
 

if your suspension squeaks or kreaks, listen to this, itll save you some time....

mine squeaked for a long time, like a year, after a drop and camber kit. if it squeaks for you try lubricating your bushings in the camber kit, and rear knuckle and you may save some money. I spent 200 bucks replacing the rear knuckle bushings, which didnt fix the problem. then just this morning, i decided to spray some pb blaster(penetrating oil) on all my rear end bushings, and low and behold, squeak is gone(finally). anyway, try lubing for squeaks before spending money, time, and many hours of frustration.... it may solve your problem...

thanks for the 422 i been having this problem for days now , i hate that squeek thanks i appreciate this

sorry 411 lol

no prob, its been driving me nuts forever, i even followed the tsb, and still didnt work, hope this works for you too

And i thought my STOCK SHOCKS are gone :eek:

lol i was planning on getting new shocks and springs cause of that dang noise

I got the squeek in the back too. Its my lower control arm bushing, its ripped up pretty bad. Your problem may be different then mine, but lube was just a quick fix... but to really solve my problem, I'd have to replace the bushings, which honda charges an insane amount for... its been getting really bad lately and driving me nuts when I dont grab my faceplate. Anyways, no1 does this replacement themselves because the bushings need to be pressed in, and your not going to get them in yourself without a few tools and a lot of thinking. Anyways, if your squeek comes back, I suggest you take it to a mechanic (not honda) and have him replace the bushings.

hey.....i kinda hve no idea where the bushings are....can you take a pix of it? n point to where to spray???

im sure alot of other members are gonna find it useful.

+1 for u

Re: fyi-rear suspension squeak
 

so pb blaster worked out for you???? how about wd-40 ... i have the same problem i just installed my camber kit today and i get this nasty creaking sound from the back

Re: fyi-rear suspension squeak
 

heh, one of mine the rubber had broke free from the steel case of the camber kit. And me being sorta lazy and cheap.... I drilled a small hole onto the outer steel case and screwed on a grease zert :) Noise gone after greasing lol

Re: fyi-rear suspension squeak
 

I did this on my rsx-s except I used all purpose general grease instead

Re: fyi-rear suspension squeak
 

beware not to use oil-based grease, it will swell up and cause the bushings to deteriorate. Good fix though

thanks for the advice grimey(rice4lyfe), love the avatar

Re: fyi-rear suspension squeak
 

lol ya, its so sad how he died..lol

Re: fyi-rear suspension squeak
 

triz, i actually had this done on my lower control arms, thinking that it was the noise i was hearing, and still had the squeak, and came to find out its the rear camber kit bushings, i just replaced one of them with an spc kit, and it got rid of the squeak on that side, if u have this problem, just get a new camber kit, if its the lower bushings on the control arm, its costly, i had it done at my local shop after buying the bushings from honda, not expensive, and cost me like 200 bucks for both sides

Re: fyi-rear suspension squeak
