Default Sqeaky front end noises ( 90 Accord )

It used to be just going up hills, but now all the time.

<U>Squeek 1</U>
Every turn I take I get a sqeaky noise...only when turning the sterring wheel. I can kinda 'feel' it too in the wheel.

<U>Squeek 2</U>
Any time the front is bouncing....so all the time. I think suspension bushings. Maybe shocks?...stock shock on Neuspeed Sport springs. They came with the car when I bought it. Car has 263k on it.

Any ideas? And again this is my 90 EX Sedan.

Definitely need shocks. Is it a squeak or a clicking when you turn?

check the power steering fluid. Usually when you are low you can really feel it in the wheel and makes the sound of like a whale when you turn (when it gets low).

Same thing happened on mine, nice and smooth when going straight but a squeaky/scratchy sound when making turns. It turned out to be the wheel bearings, jack the front end up...put the car in neutral and turn the wheel with your hand....if you hear a grinding/sqeaky/scratchy noise its the bearings.

Definitely squeak. I'll look up some cheap KBY's of Tokico HP's. I know it's not axels too.

I thought that could be it, wasn't sure though. I've never had PS before. It's due for an oil change so I'll have that check at the same time.

I'll try this over the weekend. I'm not driving it everyday anymore and it's getting the oil change on monday or Tuesday.


Thanks guys.
