I have a 96 civic hatch and sometime in january during winter, my drivers side made a squeeking sound. this happens when stationary or when its moving, turning and over bumps. well the drivers side isn't squeeking anymore, but the passenger side is.

What could be the problem? lower ball joints? or???

Let me know guys! :cheers

 

ttt..

 

if its squeeking when its stationary then most likely its not ur suspension.. cause ur not moving so its doing nothing
so my bet is check something with ur engine
belts er something most likely

 

it has nothing to do with the engine. as i stated, i first heard it in january my drivers side had the squeeking noise, then it went away and then it became the passenger side that had that squeeking noise.

 

Sway bar bushings ? Spray them with some silcone and see what happens...

 

bump. i don't think my car has sway bar on front.

 

i had that before if its when you drivin ooil up the suspension. if its while your idle check your ac and ps. my ac makes crazy whining nois in the winter

 

no a/c or p/s. its a cx. it sounds like its coming from a lower ball joint, but can anyone confirm?

Again if it makeing the same sound at a stand still the chances of that coming from your suspension is very slim.

Does the sound change at all with speed?, rmps? bumbs? any other actions? or is it jsut constant?

 

the squeeking sound is the same. i was thinking maybe it was because of the weather up here its always cold then all of a sudden warm.

 

well like everyone said ... if your stationary and it makes the sound it very much isnt likely that its not suspension at first i was going to say bushings, but yeah .. it happens when you dont move so it may be a belt or something

 

timing belt?
intake for some reason?

 

engine, belts, tranmission, clutch, what ever is moving when it's at stand still. I'm just throwing anything out there. Maybe it's a vibartion making your exterior or interior moving

 

ttt...need more opinions.

 

ttt...

 

bump

 

still got your bump stops? if so remove them then drive the car around see if the noise is still there....if the noise goes away the replace the bump stops or lube them

 

Does it squeak when your car is stationary but your moving around in it? Maybe its the way your springs react to winter. Wet+cold.....

 

will check tonight.

 

could be your wheel bearing

 

Just an idea... don't know if it will work or not. Try using a grease gun and squirt some grease in the zerk fittings on your suspension.

 

This is a little off the subject but at my work we have a shuttle we have to drive sometimes and the damm thing squeaks all the time!!! Well anyways my point being is we found out during the winter all the salts and oils from the ground stick to the spring and " coat it ". Well for normal driving its ok but you hit a little bump and its squeaks and wines! That could be your problem...

 

mine was squeeking on my passenger side while driving, over bumps, and when it was stopped and I pushed down on the fender. It ended up being the dust shield on the back of the brake rotor...it was scraping against the suspension I guess
