developing a squeak in 97 front end
#11
my suspension is the original so its pretty noisy in the winter. i had a sway bar bushing go bad.. when it broke off i thought it was in the brakes it made a loud pop and the brake pedal moved pretty hard under my foot so i took it to the dealer.. brakes fine.. they tried to pass it off as dirt between the cover and wheel. i didnt believe them. i would have squeaking, metal rubbing.. if i went over bumps, squeak/metal sliding and putting on the brakes esp on off ramps.. the front end felt really scary.. only 1 bushing broke off the other one was fine i had both replaced.. they are pretty big.. i found it after i took a look see... took it back to the dealer and asked they actually look under the car..female, so i have to put up with dismissive behavior... u cant miss these when they go..makes sense how the front end would dive and i could feel/hear it slide... new sway bar bushings and all is fine..

My front end started squeaking after I got my car back from the Honda Dealership, when I hit a deer. Thought it was a major problem but I investigated it myself anyway. Glad I did, turned out they didn't tighten the bolts holding the front bumper on and it rubs and creates an aweful squeak..
