Im been having some issues with my suspension on my 92 gsr, Its nuespeed springs with tokico struts, I have been getting a lot of squeaky noises from the front side of the car, Also a weird squeak noise when I turn the wheel when it's sitting still, It still has powersteering and the fluid level is fine. it's very cold here recently, like 15 - 20 deg weather. Does the cold temp have anything to do with it? Should I try and lube some stuff?

Old dryed out bushings. 94

So greasing them up wouldnt help?

It might actually help to grease them. They'll still be loose, but you might not hear the squeaks.

Bushings are not greased, replace them with something like this... http://www.buyhardrace.com/product/h...gsr-ls_49.html or this... http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...rod=16%2E18104 or you can just replace what looks worn out, although it is unlikely a 92 Integra will have any bushing that are not woren out. 94

yep i couldnt figure it out either, im about to do my bushings, that squeak is freaking annoying

I had the same prob not to long ago all I did was replaced upper control arms lower ball joints and tie-rod ends. push your car down by hand and if it squeaks then its most likely the upper and lower ball joints (the lower ones are a pain but a perfect time to switch to roll centers if your dropped) I replaced the tie-rods mainly to get ride of some of the bump steer i have. If its not the bushings and joints then unfortunately its the shocks.

BTW I love Hardrace bushings had some on my 240sx and they are awesome. So go with what FCM said if your going to replace bushings too. I would say if you can replace it all our cars are old and you wont have too deal with anything in the recent future if you do so.

the problem with that is, hardrace doesn't sell bushings for the DA platform

FS the bushings are worn and need to go. Greasing would only be a temporary solution to eliminate the noise. I know when my bushings were failing if it was wet out they were quiet. But the handling was still garbage.

I guess there are no hard rubber kits for DAs. Best bet for replacement would be new OE arms + the few bushings you can buy separately, or poly (which is not for everybody).

I know, that is why I said, "something like this" and added the link for the Energy Suspension ones that are for his car. 94

i wish hardrace made kits for the DA platform

dc_jdm_dreams

sometimes you have to watch out for the solid poly bushings on some parts. like for the rear trailing arms the solid poly ones + and hard spring rate in the rear have been known to = bad rear wheel jump on tight turns. I am speaking from my own research on the matter so do some research of you own maybe you will come out with a diff opinion. I helped you out and found a good hard rubber kit for the da with good reviews link is below.

the diameter for the RTABs on there kit is wrong but if you call them they can sub in what ever diameter you need long as they carry it wich most good companies do carry a variety of diameters that can cross over to multi applications.

bryan24207

yea i was gonna say this kit doesnt have an option for the DA platform on it..lol btw dc jdm dreams i hit u up with a text

bryan24207

oh okay, nvm if u read down i see it, they just dont have it as an option to buy up there on the top
