EDIT: I'm renaming this topic

ok, since last dec my car has been making this really irratating squeek/creek sound while going over even the slightest bumps. it's loud enough for ppl outside of my car to hear. plus i my deck got jacked so i have no choice but to listen to it til it's fixed or til i get a new deck. i changed struts from blown oem to kyb AGXs and it was still there. a friend of mine told me i need new bushings. does this sound right?

just fyi i also have GCs and the ingalls camber kit. thanks.

my ingalls camber kit makes so damn much noise......i hate it, it's the most annoying squeak i've heard so far.....i spray some silicone spray on them almost daily just to keep it down for a little while....anyone got any other ideas?

 

anyone got more info or a cure??

ttt

 

I wanna know also however in my case it is only noticeable when it rains

 

man i got the same damn problem! stupid camber kit squeeks so bad it sounds like my suspension is broken. so embarrasing. bump for a solution to this problem besides spraying it daily...

 

ok so it's not just me! *sigh of relief*

anyone know if the skunk2 camber kit makes noise too? someone was telling me those are better than the ingalls anyway. i was thinking about switching my front camber kit out for those if they're better and don't squeek.

 

do you hear the noise over certain random bumps, and the noise is really loud when it has a chance to echo off buildings or a hill or something.

if so i have the same problem.. im sure something is worn in there.

if you find the exact problem let us know cause i would like to know!

 

i hear it over everything. speed bumps, pot holes, small bumps comingout of/going into driveways.

btw hawaii roads SUCK! i want jdm roads lol.

yeah, mine too.......what the hell is with that???

it's much more noticeable when it rains.....

how bout the skunk 2 camber kit? anyone have a sqeak with them?

 

Do you have any grease on your bushings? Any chance you have an aftermarket swaybar/bushings?

 

my swaybar bushings squeak pretty badly when i have a few people on board. i'll get around to re-greasing the bushings when i'm feeling less lazy

 

my right rear bushing on the upper a-arm squeaks when its cold and the car is at an odd angle(pulling into steep driveways). but they are 13 years old.

 

It should be the bushings, very common.

 

so.. some ES bushings should fix whatever squeek is coming from my bushings and some lube will fix whatever is coming from my camber kit?

 

It s/b the bushings...I had my GSR checked for the same noise from the rear, when I hit bumps. I was advised it is common since the bushings are rubber. If you keep them sprayed with wd40 or something like that it will help reduce the noise.

 

whoa, lot of hawaii peeps haha

but yeah man i have the progress kit on my GSR and it sqeaks on all the speed bumps haha

 

did you use the polyurethane grease, no? es? if not you better otherwise those bushings will tear right apart

 

ok, i read some archived stuff and a lot of the scca and ITR guys say just go with OEM bushings. sounds like a plan to me.

anyone know part numbers or good online sites to buy OEM bushings?

 

yeah call me at 303-591-0929 i am at a acura dealership called flatirons in boulder colorado. i'll get you what you need, oem or aftermarket, for a competitive price

 

Branco Acura never did anyone wrong! search branco

as a side note my car squeaks much more in cold weather

 

i have energy suspension poly urethane bushings in the front and they make alot of noise when its cold out thats about it when its warm their quiet, i guess i have to live with it

 

thats why i dont want to deal with a camber kit..fixes one problem but creates another...

 

ill need to change all the bushings in my rear control arms soon. they are all cracked.
