Hello.

I have a 2000 civic EX 2dr which is 135000 on it. It make some creaky noise at the front end (I think) from the last month when I drove the car on the local load and highway. Not quiet lousy but it is repeated continually. What could be a problem?

Also I have a set of coil spring and strutes from 2003 RSX type-s which was my bro. Can I replace those parts for my civic?

Thanks.

when do you hear the noises? those rsx parts won't fit your civic.

rsx parts wont fit the civic, check yur ball joints

I heard the noise about 2 month ago while the car was running on the highway.
It wasn't noticible but repeated, so I recognized.

Is that the ball joint problem?

Thanks.

batallic

is it creaking like bed springs

The ball joint with springs or only springs?

Thanks.

first things first: lube up your bushings with silicone grease.

if the noise continues, then look for other problems.

I hope the greasing works.. If you want to drop it and go with better springs, you might as well replace it all. ball joints, wheel bearings, struts,etc. I had to do all that and the CV's

Where is the bushings? Can I get some pictures?
I am sorry to bother you.

Thanks.

bushings... you know, all the rubber pieces on the suspension. Where suspension parts are bolted together or to the chassis, there is always a bushing. Just look for rubber things underneath the car. Grease everything rubber, except the axle boots and tires.

i bet its just your front bumper. bang on your front bumper just below the grille and see if thats the noise you're hearing. i went through the same thing.
