LightFantastic Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Every time I get out of my vehicle, something squeeks. Near positive it's my strut. It's only the rear driver side though. Everyone looks at me when I get out of my vehicle as if some fat guy just got out of a 78' hoopty something. Lol, I weigh a buck 70. It's an 05 LGT with 150k. Bother replacing one strut or just go for them all? Not interested in the whole "going fast" thing. It's pretty much stock and I get groceries with it. sti pinks?

capttris Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 It's funny, I have a 2013 2.5 with 29K miles, everything OEM. No accidents, no potholes, no heavy loads, nothing. But I have also noticed suspension squeaks while driving lately. Has anyone else had this issue on a 2013 or 5th gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobyscoodle Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 You may want to check your swaybar bushings if you have poly ones. If not, then yes it may be the strut. Not worth replacing one, do all 4. The KYB's are a good oem replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZP Installs Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 +1 It can also be your sway bar bushings or end links as well, but at 150K you are due for struts anyway. -Mike Paisan http://www.pbase.com/paisan/image/153798190.jpg Maintaining, Modifying and Educating TriState Enthusiasts since 2001.

khurlburt Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have the same exact thing going on. Same corner of the car. Did you end up finding out what it was? I'm betting on the strut. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capttris Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I have not done anything yet. I have almost 30K miles so I want to get this nailed down before the warranty is up. It seems hard to believe the car would be getting squeaks this early in its life. I also own a 1991 Honda Prelude with 198K miles and that didn't develop any noises until well over 100K or more. Have you seen any other posts on this with 5th gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
