Yooooooooo!!!

i have the same on my 01 accord coupe.
82 000km , right front suspension squeak, over bumps.. I checked it by myself, and by the way it only squeak when its under 0 degree celcius, its 95% clear its the lower balljoint..; (i used a stetoscope for mechanics, hearing by resonnance the sound and it was mostly concentrated at the lower balljoint..) + (i had the same kind of suqeak on my 94 accord coupe, but it was when i was turning the wheels right/left..)

Goodluck!! btw im due to change it under warranty

Yeah, the weather also affects it. Mine squeaks like crazy right now since it's well below freezing. When it's warmer it's hard to notice. I don't think the balljoint can be lubricated but I could be wrong.

I realy doubt its a ball joint, I have seen hondas with 300,000 miles and many senior 200k ones and have not see one that had bad ball joints...

My 93 started doing the same thing when it got cold. I thought it was just my car doing it. Obviously it isn't model year specific.

Is your car lowered?? Mine squeaks beacuase the upper A-arm rubs on the inside of the fender. I took a while for it to start but I took it in for the squeak and that's what it was.
