Default 95 ex suspension

has anyone who owns a 95 honda accord ex coupe had continous problems with the suspension. If so what is the options to remedy this? Ive replacd all of the struts ,the left upper control arm twice now the left caliper is dragging and there is constant sqeaking and a vibration when Im driving the car but the vibration is not continuous.

tires/wheels balanced? need more info. front or rear. Try moving wheels around to see if the symptom changes. check all bolts, bushings, etc.

So, a 16 year old car with squeaking and vibration is unexpected...

Bushing condition? Tie rods? Wheel bearings? Brake caliper sliders lubed and score free (since one is dragging)? Brake pad anti-squeal shims in use? Rotors in good shape and free of uneven pad buildup (or "warped" as many would call it)? Tires worn unevenly? Any polyurethane on the car?

There are quite a few things that can cause squeaking and/or vibration.

well since pretty much everything has been replaced in the last 3yrs,I think im just gonna replace all of the bushings,the calipers and rotors and the struts. If it continues then there will be a 95 ex coupe up for sale or trade..lol

or you could actually try and diagnose the problem instead of just throwing money at it. get in there and check things individually. we cant mentally figure out whats wrong with the car

well no offense since I see you are a new member but this is a DIY Honda techincal forum. you come and ask a question, you get a laundry list of things to check, then say you have no ability to follow our instructions. What do you expect to get from the post?

if you don't want to spend the time checking for yourself then take it to a trusted mechanic and see what they have to say. we can't help you with that.

was just wondering if it was a common problem with the 95 accord suspensions..I heard a couple times from two diff mechanics that it was the worst year for that body styles suspension..just wanted more input on the situation not so much as a solution
