hey guys
i just came back from a road trip to montreal. When I got back I noticed this creeking sound as if the frame was shifting. I happens on bumps that I go over slowly. it used to only happen when i go down my driveway.... just want to know what you all think it can be and more importantly is there a way to get rid of this sound because its driving me insane!!!!

thanks

noisy bushings? you gotta locate the noisy ones and take them off and grease em up. just one thing that creaks on cars

thanks man .. you think that would be the only problem ... and not my frame ?

Actually, I heard that mineral oil works best... other than replacing them altogether.

might be your shocks? cuz I think my back right shock is going cuz when i go over bumps slowly with that wheel it makes a creeking noise too....

How many KM's on the car???

Before we start replacing bushings and shocks...

76000 on the car and approx the same on the shocks ... (koni's)

I thought creeking sounds were normal for a civic?

imported_94EG6HB

That's seems a bit soon for failure...

The Koni's are aftermarket installed when the car was new???

no the shocks were purchased used and installed a couple of months ago .......... but i knew the person who installed them and I trust his word .......... the sound is coming from the rear right of the car ..... I appreciate all this input from you guys please keep it coming.
Thanks

I have the same problem with my 96 CX. I downloaded a Honda service bulletin about the problem and it is possibly a rear trailing arm bushing. There are two of them. I have not had it looked at, but I am betting that is what my problem is. I just turn the stereo louder now. LOL

IF some one knows how I can post a PDF file, I can share it with every one. It is an official Honda service bulletin for 88-00 Civic all.

i got crazy creaking when i turn my steering wheel.

dented - if you havea creaking noise and a clicking sound when you turn that means your CV joints are gone and you need to get them replaced. I got both mine done 2 months ago and the car turn perfect now.
