Wheel area squeeking after changing suspension
I just installed my tein ss on my 93 prelude. But I noticed the passenger side front wheel area is making a squeeking noise (mainly when i reverse) similar to that of the brake indicator. Checked my brakes, they are nice a meaty.
Any idea what could be wrong? This only happened after installing the coilovers. |

Could be the bushing at the top of the shock.

Re: Wheel area squeeking after changing suspension
Thank you guys. I will spray it with silicone or something, and if that helped, I'll apply paste! Update when it's done.

Re: Wheel area squeeking after changing suspension
If it's just been a short time, let it go for awhile -- they may settle and wear into position and the squeak will go away. If after a month or so (or if that time's already passed) they're still squeaking, they'll probably need a bit of lubrication (for poly bushings, I think a thin dab of white grease) to make them quiet.
I'm interpreting your note as this is a squeak that happens with the suspension is moving -- compressing or extending. If that's not the case, you probably have to look for something rubbing.

Re: Wheel area squeeking after changing suspension
Actually, its not squeaking during compression or extension, it only squeaks when I go in reverse, not over bumps. I thought it was something rubbing too, but the car isn't stupid slammed or anything, can't seem to figure it out.
Weird thing is the noise is only noticeable in reverse. |

Re: Wheel area squeeking after changing suspension
r u sure a dust shield didnt get bent and just happens to touch a little when u back up ?? check and see how close the dust shield is to the rotor .. if not im gonna guess boots on cv shafts or shafts themselves . you chang the norman angle of the axle when u lower a car

Re: Wheel area squeeking after changing suspension
