Hey all

I bought Brand new AMR coilovers and they are on my Honda accord for about 3-4 years. however the car was not driven for 2 years. Whenever I go into driveways/parking lots while driving slowly the front tends to whine/squeek.
What can I do??


On a side note... A friend had put the A/C Low Pressure blue dust cap a bit too tight to cover the valve. I tried opening it and now part of the plastic of the dustcap and possibly gasket seems to be melted INTO the a/c low pressure valve core. WHAT can I do:S I believe I need to replace the Low pressure pipe?

Thoughts are appreciated thanks.

 

It's likely a bushing that's squeaking.

There is a way to remove just the valve core stem. There is a tool for it. Try calling around and asking people if they have the tool to replace it. You won't need to even recover and recharge. Normally the low side only gets cold so I'm surprised it melted.

 

Thanks il look into that.

Im guessing i will need to replace the low pressure port or have to replace the actual low pressure pipe

 

I changed both Ball joints and the front Sway bar end links left and right sides (530 CDN Labour/Parts). These parts needed to be changed either way.
The squeeky noise still tends to occur when turning into a driveway or driving very slow ( Less than 15 Km/H) or tunring the steering wheel left and right 45 Degrees
I was told I need to change the front subframe then can change the bushings in there there.

Keep in mind the Car is on Coilovers and is not fully lowered but the damper is 1 tick closer to the softer side for now. (If that provides any help)

 

I just seen a thread where people were talking about BC coilovers where someone put SYNTHETIC Motor OIL on the Pillow Ball Mounts and the squeeking went away. SOmething about the rubber hitting the mounts?

Any input or Experiences.
