DC Sports upper front strut ....
I have kind of a funny prob.... i have a dc sports upper front strut on my accord... and it squeaks...or kinda creaks around where it's bolted together. Could it be that it needs to be retightened? Anyone ever have a prob with this ?

it probably just needs to be tightened, i've had a nuespeed one on my car for about 6 years and never had a problem.

I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

WD40 is a solvent and will break down chassis grease. It will eliminate squeaking temporarily but it will probably come back again later and be worse.
Keep it away from ball joints, grease fitings, tie rod ends, control arm bushings, etc etc.

Also WD40 says right on the can:

Yeah that stuff definately works well as a cleaner/solvent. Used it many times to remove sticker boogers off various surfaces. Works very similar to gasoline for removing adhesives.
