Default Rear driver's side wheel well prob !

This week i noticed a sqeaking but more rattaling noise comin from the rear driver's side wheel well i dont kno if it's the strut or spring i am not fimilar with suspension on honda's. It drives just fine at the limit or even 100mph crusing but when i drive on streets doing between 35 and lower it make's this noise. I make turns and it does it or just moving along it's really pissing me off at this point it's never done this until recently by the way the SI has 3,100 miles on it. I checked the trunk and nothing is loose there plus i think it does it more when i have passenger's in the back seats ive heard the struts arent the greatest on the 06 FG's
so maybe this is the issue. I am taking it to the dealer this sunday so hopefully they will find the prolem and fix it.

P.S. My car only has 3,100 miles on it and i am already at 40% oil life i think that is low at this point it will prob be hitting 15% before 5,000 miles should i get the oil changed this sunday when i get the car looked at ?. Ive been hitting redine/Vtec alot ya kno driving it like i stole it so thats prob why it's low ?

We had a similar issue with my wife's car, except the sound was from the rear passenger side.
It would happen mostly when driving in/out of our driveway and at certain speeds.

I took the vehicle in and they told me right away that the rear struts and mounts(i gotta double check the invoice for this one) had to be replaced. I was very happy to know that the service rep decided to have both struts repalced - no more sounds!!!!!!

Oil change, does not hurt!
We changed ours at 40% with 6500 clicks, but make sure that the service guys reset the maintenance minder, but no big deal, could be done as per the owners manual!
The maintenance minder has some kind of algorithm that calcualtes the speed and temperature and some other stuff for the life of the oil.

"Happy redlining"

Hope this helps!
