does it sound like a squeak or more like your tire is shredding the inside of your fenderwall? cause my crx used to do that before i raised it back up about 1/2".

the noise is gone now that i replaced both upper ball joints. They were so bad there was no grease left in them and they moved up and down about a 1/2 inch.

It's funny how modifying the car always seems to bring up unrelated problems, it seems to happen a lot. I think that's a good thing though, and that everyone should modify their car
