Default squeeking?

hey, before, i went over a curb in my car (not going into any details) but, the impact was very hard. i went over it with my front passenger side FIRST and now i notice a squeeking noise coming from that side. i was wondering what bushing it could be? nothing seems to be bent so i can't really find out what part its coming from. another thing i noticed is that that side of the car is lower but the coilover is adjusted higher? its weird, someone help me out

could be. if the subframe is damaged, then the suspension components arent aligned the way its supposed to, maybe causing the bushings to squeak. best bet take it to someone who knows about suspension, put it on a lift and let them find the problem.

Mike your boys told me you were drunk when you went over that curb by am pm near york in Eagle Rock used dw40 and spray all your bushing if your car is sitting higher on one side then you have the same problem that you had with that crx. Why are you still using skunk2 coil overs. Anyone at autolink or even pitcrew will tell you to buy a tein set up or even a jic set up. It has been 5 months now since you said you were going turbo. How is that going anyway? I would rather have a 2.5 inch drop spring tokico blues and a camber kit front and rear over a skunk2 coil over set up. Tein flex no complaints here and you have driven my car before and after so you know the diffirence

Default Re: squeeking? (**** it)

you see mike there you go with the word cheaper and people on this board. The last time you tried to mdodify a shock you drilled a hole in it and all the gas shot out. I like to control my damper from inside the car maybe that is what the extra $ is about. Your strut might not be blow check your subframe. What was the reason for not going turbo?

no due i know mike like if we go out to eat and he has no money i'll buy like it is no big thing. Before i moved to hawaii mike was all over the gsr eg thing he parks on the street his mom a insurance ajuster he has liability. You think I am trying to look out for him or be upset with him. Not to mention they broke into his ride once. As a matter of fact i'm 38 mike is not even 21 you think im old enough to be his father. He has even by 5 $ nug bags and got all of my polishing **** for my car befor i bailed to hawaii. So it sounds like you don't know mike and I at all your just a honda tech member. Unless we have met on the Peir in Santa Cruz or Santa Rosa but I doubt it Tard. See what I mean Mike like this guys seen Hillers ride at PC or Alink. Mike has drive my car from stock to tein he just missed the type r set up cause I got tire of people riding around are little city trying to break into our **** just post your ride so i can juge you SantaClaus

i can elaborate this is mikehawk aka frost eg the guy who got nailed by a drunk driver his car was totaled after talking **** and getting everyone wound up about people driving drunk he was drunk driving himself and ran over a curb in Eagle Rock near your and ER blv. You can figure the rest of the story out since he dosnt want to be honest about his respect for drinking and driving. But hay that just what his friends told me. One more thing I have seen other boody shots as advatars I don't think thats why you got banned. You called the moderator a *** which I think has nothing to do with car stories nor does some girls *** other than it belongs in the seat of a Honda. Kool Moe Dee how you like me now. I am the guy who did the photo shoot of all his frost white eg photos. Now I am In Hawaii retired where there are no car jacking at all Kaui well there was one in 1945 when a jap got shot down during pearl harbor he landed in the sugar kane feilds and tried to steal a jeep. The farmers caught him smacked him upside the head with a pinaple and said fool your out of bounds.
