its all about the susp problem that every one is having for the 2005 RSX.... i am having the same problem right now..try and get yours fixed

[Links to foreign boards removed. You need to put the information here, not send people off into space.]

 

hasn't happened to me (yet)... but good looking on the info!

 

haha i cant tell if the cliking noise is frum my struts or from header knock cuz i havent got motor mounts yet...maybe i should hurry and get mm...or atleast the esmm...

 

3200 on mine right now. so far nothing.

if i get the problem, and it persists... there are gonna be a lot of rsx goodies for sale because ill get an s2k instead.

 

haven't had it yet, and I'm at 11k

 

I barely have 600 miles and I have already taken my 05 to the dealer and all they did was spray white lithium grease on the spring perch... any one know of any service bullitens?

 

mine has about 800 on it right now, no noises yet. thanks for the info

 

I had my front coil springs replaced and so far so good it has been 3 days. The dealer fixed it no problem

 

well i heard it yesterday... is there a SURE fix for this? or what?

 

as of right now, honda is on a recall on the 05 suspe.... my susp is on a 1 month recall

 

it doesnt say anything on the nhtsa site

 

an of right now, almost 9k miles, i have not heard anything.....

 

so is der a recall for them because i thought the clanking noise was my header but i replaced my motor mounts wit enjo motor mounts and i still get that noise just not as much...and w0w does my car vibrate now....

 

mine has 800 and does this, looking for a perm fix

 

I've read all those before and the bottom line is there is no perminent fix right now. I called my local Acura dealer and they said there were no service bulletins for this problem at this time. Should there ever be a universal solution that I find out about I'll post about if someone doens't beat me to it.

 

i work at Acura and we have been replaceing the front pillow upper plate from the front shocks. it have been doing the job

 

acura is coming out with a perm fix in 1-2 weeks from a good source at the local acura dealer.

 

I am a technician at an acura dewalerchip......wh have been replacing pillow mounts and/or complete strut assemblies.....it is an easy fix and does not take very long to fix

 

let us know if they do come out with the perm fix

 

I will look at acura service net right now for any service bulletins

 

the only TSB that I could find at the moment that any of you may notice is a squeaky clutch pedal. The problem is a spring inside the master cylinder rubbing. The solution is to replace the clutch MC with a revised version and to silicone the clutch line insert.

I did one of these this morning and it takes a little less than an hour to replace the MC and bleed the clutch.

 

did they give any sh*t to people if they replaced there springs...im just wondering cuz i got the progress springs...on mine and im not shure if that cliking noise i hear is the prob or if my cai in bouncing off something

what is the problem???? i know some people with the same car and they dont have the problem. is this on all type s's or just some and why would some have problems and others dont??? you say you replace the pillow mounts and strut assemblies but arnt you replacing it with the same part??? I was told by a acura tech that they were replacing them with parts but it wasnt working and are waiting for a perm fix from acura.

 

i have progress springs to and mine make nosie as well i just figured it was the springs any help would be great.

to be honest with you I think the problem is the pillow mount design. They are using rubber to metal at a moving joint and when the rubber loses its lubrication they start popping when the wheel is turned. The only way that I can think of is to convert the pillow ball to a spherical bearing or to use a pillow ball similar in style to the one used on the mid 90's Mazda minivan. There are many different designs but I think the OEM verson of the Mazda is about one of the best out there for noise supression and relability.
