Annoying front end Squeak in 91 Accord Ex
Hi Everyone
Well I have a 91 Accord EX and it has always run like a charm. The usual glitches but there are no complaints here. About 1 month ago I started to get a squeak in the left front end. When I say squeak, it turns heads and makes people look! It sounds like rubber to rubber or very dry rubber. It has continued to grow to the point when I turn the steering wheel mostly from the center position from left to right to left, it is really bad. It also will squeak when I push down on the fender to exercise the suspension. The same goes when I brake and accelerate. Now this sounds easy to fix, just spray WD40 or oil on all of the suspension parts but that didn't work. Here is what I have changed to this date: Top Ball joint with the Y member New struts and springs (Found both springs broke) Bushings for torsion bar on left side lubricated everything I could disassemble or get my hands on The noise is definitely from the left side but it is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would be great. Steve |

Probably the lower ball joint. It's a distructive test, but you can
poke a hole in the boot with the wheel off the ground, and spray a little silicone in the joint and see if the noise goes away. You'll need to replace the joint to fix it. bob |
