Sometimes I hear creaking comming from the front right (passenger side) of my integra, mostly when I go over bumps.

Any idea what this might be ?

 

there may be a couple of loose components in your door. take your passenger side door panel off and tighten any bolts you see loose.

 

any suspension mods? ..creaking and rattling are two different things.

 

if its cold when this happens. most likely some flex in the chassis or where the panels meet up. you're putting stress on the part rattling when you go over a bump.

my car does that when its been sitting in the cold forever, but it goes away after a little bit.

also...bushings can be an issue.

 

Yes its happening more often when its cold ( Its winter in Toronto here )

Suspension is stock.

So you think its a panel problem ?

 

Its really a creaking noise not a rattle.

Same thing like when you walk on a creaky floor, that kind of noise.

 

bushings need to be lubed up?

 

i think it is just an issue of it being cold. nothing worth dealing with. one problem may lead to the next. if its the door, apply some lithium grease to the hinges. but, you would know its the door when you open or close it.

again, it could also be suspension bushings, those tend to get brittle in cold. but, that would be more less of a creaking than a noise that is hard to describe.

 

Ok Ill try oiling the hinges - Nothing worth dealing with I suppose.

But I really only ever want to hear my exhaust or my music, nothing else.

 

could possibly be CV joints...might wanna check them out

 

doubt its a moving part. it creaks, doesn't click...its something that is being stressed. most likely temp is causing it or making it more noticeable.

 

Check all your suspension stuff. Check the axles (slim chance but cant hurt).

 

unwanted noises i think are the worst possible problems to have... since its so hard to find and fix, and even harder to explain the problem to others!

it could very well be the door itself. my driver side door creaks on the rare occasion, and i'm pretty sure its just the door panel or hinge isn't at tight as it used to be when the car was new. my car is a 1994 though.. hth
