my front end creeks, why????

[TIM TIM TIM]

its a 99 integra ls, nuespeed springs, skunk 2 camber kit, stock struts.. It seems like its the springs, when i go over bumps slow, like coming out of a driveway it creeks alot, and when i brake or somthing that. any idea what this could be, and how i can fix it?

i have the same problem but i have stock suspension in the front... if im not mistaken this started when i got my si's

Sounds like dry bushings.

not really an easy/cheap permanent fix......However, You can get rid of the noises for a while by using lithium grease or several shots of WD40 inside the bushings where the metal bolts or rods meet the rubber/polyurethane.

Try turning your wheel at a dead stop and have a Buddy stick their ear inside the wheel well, while you steer back and forth, See if he can pin point where the squeak or crick is coming from, Then bust out the grease and go at it.....

man i hate dry turning, i feel like i can feel my pockets getting lighter with that tire wearing down :lol:

Opps, My Bad......

So try Dry Turning in sand.......Or roll at slow idle and turn the wheel, hopefully your listening buddy has quick reflexes though.

im not so sure it does it when i turn, as much as slow down, go over bumps and stuff at low speeds. so i think for someone to hear where its coming from they would have to hold on to the bottom of the car and let me back out of the driveway or somthing with them under it :dunno: willl you help? :lol: jk. I will just try to wd40 the hell out of all the bushings

hey tim tim tim let me know how that goes cuz i got the same problems .. happens when i go over speed bumps and shit like that

[jlude90]

when you put the springs on did you load the suspension?

[TIM TIM TIM]

i didnt put them on. but i dont see how that would matter

[jlude90]

it does, i guess when you tighten everything in the air it isn't seated in its final spot and moves around, i don't know why it does it but trust me it does, done it to a few cars that we squeaking, raised it, loosened the bolts and retightened and fixed the problem

[TIM TIM TIM]

cool ill give that a try i guess, I lubed teh bushings real good and it still creeks :(

[TIM TIM TIM]

are you jus ttalking about the bolts on top under the hood? if so i just loosend those, lowerd the car back. tightend them back up.. hopefully it fixes it, ill see later.

[TIM TIM TIM]

stupid thing would creek and pop all the time.. Driving me CRAZY.. went underneath AGAIN and just tried to take off the bennin sway bar, the bolts really werent tight, they werent falling out but they needed no effort to come off. so i tightend them up pretty good and now it stopped.. woo hoo
