95 Accord squeaking sound from front driver's side
 
Hi all, have a 95 Accord that is squeaking quite a bit even getting out of the car it squeaks and only front driver's side, shock? Does anybody have any ideas?

If you can make it squeak by bouncing the car, then get a friend to help. Have him bounce the car while you get down & listen. Try to pinpoint the location.
- balljoints (there's 3 on each side)
- suspension bushings (inboard ends of control arms)
- bushings at forward ends of radius rods
- bushings around anti-roll bar

Jim-typing a little quick- 3 balljoints. Or are you including the tie rod.

Landlover-add one more (IMO) the links at the end of the anti-roll bar (sway bar or whatever you want to call it). Don't usually squeek but can. EDIT-Dang I'm typing too quick, there is also the bushings at/on the upper control arm.

ball joints or could also be upper controller arm. Best way to check would be to suspend the wheel off the ground and give it a good spin. if squeaky, problem most likely with contoller arm.

Yes, I included the tie-rod because that flexes when you bounce the suspension so it can squeak.

Inboard pivot bushings on upper or lower control arms.

I think there's also some kind of bushing where the shock's lower fork attaches to the lower control arm.

ANYTHING that moves might be the squeaker. And if you listen from the driver's seat remember that sound can travel around a car in the strangest manner so it seems like the location of the sound is all wrong when you're sitting inside the car.
