Hi There

I noticed a loud squeaking noise while driving that is coming from the Front Right Passenger Side of the 2007 Accord Sedan SE V-6 5AT (20,000KM). It happens when going over bumps and uneven packed snow. A friend of mine tried to shake the wheel side to side and found no movement, however sound started when he pushed the car up/down.

Is this a sign of a suspension or ball joint issue?


Much Thanks in advance

 

It could be a dry ball joint but I would suspect the anti-sway bar bushing. There is a large rubber bushing and the ASB rotates in this bushing when you push one side of car down. If this is source of noise, you can loosen, remove bushing lube, and reinstall. I don't think externally sprayed lubricant will penetrate and stop the noise, but worth a try.

There are other suspension bushings that could cause noise, but are more difficult to access and replace.

A dry ball joint could cause this squeak also. I think you would see a ruptured boot allowing grease to be lost to cause this.

good luck
