Default Canastoga Wagon squeeky wagon

Hi folks- 97 Accord wagon 130k, Acquired it last December. I haven't poked around yet, maybe this weekend. This thing squeeks like a Canastoga Wagon! slow speed-squeeks like crazy. I'm embarrassed to pull into WalMart! Ha!


I need to put a right side axle in soon (click! click! click! when I turn), while I'm under there I thought I'd soak the rubber parts with a spray lubricant. Any suggestions on rubber parts needing replacement? Thanks, Dave

The usual culprits are the sway bar bushings. If they're still intact then spray silicone will provide a temporary fix. Silicone grease, available cheap at Lowe's or Home Depot as "faucet grease", will last a long time but requires a bit of disassembly.

Default sway bar

Roader- well I did a search on replacing those sway bar bushings- looks pretty simple, might as well spend a small amount of green and just replace them. I think I'm going to have the passenger side axle out anyway... Thanks, D
