When i am driving and i hit little bumps or small dips in the road i hear my suspension or i think it is my suspension making squeaking noises my car is a 95 with about to 90k miles, the person i got it from mostly drove it on the highway. So i was just wondering if it was time for new suspension,springs?????? And if i can get some answers and maybe a price range on this project i would appreciate it . Thanx alot for taking a look at my post.

 

it's most likely not your suspension, but rather a loose ball joint, bad bearing, bad cv joint etc...not too many springs fail unless they rust...

 

Are you talking about replacing your stock suspension?

 

Could you be more descriptive in when it happens and what it does, from what location, etc. I'll try and help.

 

Maybe your shocks are blown? One of my rear is blown and it makes a lot of noise when you go over a bump.

 

when you heard the noise?

if you go over a bump with 15-20 mph and your shock bottem out, then it's the shocks.

if you trying to brake(semi-hard) and you heard rubbing noise, then check the tie rod.

if you barely move the car(mcdonald drive-thru style) and it make metal noise=upper ball joint

those are the honda spots


"Another test for your shocks would be to try to bounce the front of your car by pushing down on the front fender with all of your weight a few times. If the car bounces more than three times before coming to a rest position your shocks are worn."

welcome to 2004, we dont do that anymore, it's not the leafspring chevy we got here. putting weight on the fender could only do one thing, that is denting it.
if you want to test your shocks/damper the right way(well, at least the ASE cert. mechanic way), find a emtpy parking lot, go over a bump about 15-20 mph, the oem shock in good/fair condition should damper your car without much problems.

 

the normal problem is due to weather changes. the sway bar bushing get moistor in them and dry up. lube the bushings around the sway bar and you should be good to go
