Well i think a lotta of you heard that i put in new suspension....but my problem is this... before i put my coilovers in, i had a really loud squeking/grinding noise coming from pass. wheel area. I left it go since i was going 2 replace just about everything in the front. But it's still there after all new bushings, control arms, coilovers, etc. I'm almost 95% sure it's the lower ball joint and lower control arm making the noise. I took it apart today and greased everything hoping it would go away, but it came back . The noise usually happens when i turn the wheels, start out, or stop....anytime a change in motion in the car....HELP!

 

Will it do it sitting still turning the wheel side to side?

 

yup, and it's horribly loud, it's embarrasing driving a 1/2 decent looking car sounding like pure hell

LOL I've seen some of them pretty bad. Replacement is the best fix if their that noisy.

 

Check your tie rods. Replace them and see if it quits.

 

Brand new tire rods, tie rod ends, EVERYTHING is brand new except lower ball joints, but i just went to expert tire, and here it's my brand new ball joints (camber kit) i just have to take it apart and grease that one. Sorry guys, i thought it was the lower one the whole time . The guy sprayed some silicon spray on the top ball joint and it instantly stopped! Now i just have to grease it.

 

i had the same problem on my cb7(4th gen accord) whenever i turned the wheel and whenever i went over some small bumps and when i stoped hard i would hear this squicking noise. lol i hated it so much.
turned out to be the lower bolt joint. 100% sure

 

Lower baljoints are easy to replace... and cheap too.. i would just get it done.

 

Have you checked your axles?

 

how much would it cost at shop?

I'd diy but it requires a press.

 

get it done, i was driving and mine popped out!!! its not fun drive on 3 tires, major repairs if you don't fix it soon.

 

Well i grease the upper ball joint and cleaned it with a wire brush real good. It WORKED! but only for like an hour Brand new ball joints too, made same exact noise before they were put in...what to do what to do

 

what?? still made noise??? maybe its your cv shaft, get that checked too when that thing comes out its not good either

 

maby you have a mouse..

 

I swear that car is out to get me! It will stop doing it for a day and then come back, hmm....

 

how do your upper arm bushings look?

 

Jack up the car and try to wiggle the tire/wheel. If its moves at all or feels loose, then one of the joints is warn.

 

I have a really really light bit of movement in the the wheel, but 3 shops have just told me that my axle nut should be tightened down a little bit more. So i'm good there, and my upper joints are all BRAND NEW!
