I've got this sound coming from the front right of my car, it's a creaking that only occurs when i brake fast or take a turn. I think it may be the front lower sway bar bushing/connector, but i'm not sure. If anyone has any advice before i go putting on a type r sway bar and all the brackets, I would really appreciate it. Any diagrams would also be greatly appreciated.
TIA

is your car lowered? those aftermarket shocks n springs tend to creek and squeak after some time especially when the weather is cold.

 

Yeah, happens to me sometimes.

 

Yea, I'm lowered on H&R OE's. I'm gonna replace my lower control arm bushing, and see if that helps.
Thanks again

Go back and recheck your swaybar endlinks a little more thoroughly. Unbolt them from the LCA and check for smoothness of rotation and binding.

One of my endlinks is crapped out, and makes nasty/gritty noises....like there's dirt in there.

 

Also check you tie rods too. Make sure there isn't too much play.

 

hey i have the same thing happening to me? wat was the real problem? and was it serious?

 

Yea, the sound began when i lowered about 1 inch on H&R OE Springs, with stock shocks.
OOps, guess i already said that - .
Still looking into things, considering taking it to a shop so they can lift it and tell me what to do for a good $20. Also talking to BSQ about an r swaybar.

well i found out that the sound is from the front sway bars. thing is to get it replaced with aftermarket bushings, i need to kno the size of it. anyone might kno the size of the bushing that connects the endlink of the sways??

 

Im replacing all my bushings, as well as the swaybar (along with its bushings). They are cheapest at http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net to find the size of those bushings, I would look into getting a type R swaybar, talk to BSQ for the brackets to convert.
