It also makes it worst in the long run when you try to hide squeeks, you should just attempt to fix the suspension before making it even worst

a real common place is the sway bar bushings. the accords were real bad. try removing the sway bar brackets and remove the bushings and lube them up.silicone grease will do the trick.

White lithium grease is a quick fix, as is wd40. It will come back within a week to a month.

A creak or a squeak usually means that the bushing is worn. Try to locate where it's coming from and replace that bushing(s).

I bought my DC2 and it did that. I bought the Energy Suspension master bushing set for like $240 and installed everything at my friend's shop. The car felt brand new after that and no more squeaks.

For a quick fix, though, some white lithum grease works wonders. You can even get it at Walmart, for about $2-3 a can. Look in the isle with WD-40 and other solvents like the brake cleaner etc.

the silicon grease we use does.its down corring 50 a real thick silicon paste.
when you remove the sway bar bushings look for paint or rust stuck in the bushing if so then most likely you found the main source.
but noises like your getting are tough to diag over the internet and we all can only point you to fixes like mentioned from exp and trial and error.
please post your results .

I have cheap@$$ OEM-replacement upper control arms I got off eBay about 2 years ago, and those things squeak like a **** due to the crap bushings in them. I have tried both white lithium and silicone grease and the squeak always came back in a couple weeks.

I'm planning on just spending the $190 or so for a pair of brand new OEM Honda upper arms.
