your right, I think im going to go get that book everyone is talking about and do it myself.if your going to mod your car i think you need to learn how to do things yourself especially suspension work because its fairly simple.
If someone else can do it with their two hands I can do it with mine.
Thats the spirit lol but DONT even think of lowering your car if your factory suspension parts are shot. Maintenance is more important than anything, so before you do this replace the ball joints and such
But first get a job, spend your own hard earned money, not someone else's. And DIY is the way to go
thanks for the advice.
So me and my other civic buddy took a look at what is causing the problem since I decided to not take it to a shop. it is coming from the passenger side upper control arm rubber thing being dried out. Turns out there isn't really anyway to get them back to their previous condition. There are not cracks they are just old, any suggestions on things you've done for issues like this?
those "rubber things" are called bushings, and you're right you can't fix them, but you can replace them with these:it is coming from the passenger side upper control arm rubber thing being dried out.

It's a pain in the ass, but it's a DIY project, unless you have the $ to blow by getting it done at a shop
Not quite what I need but thanks Ill save that sight for later usage. its a kind of tube shaped thing. Ill take a picture of it when its light out side.
the only thing that can dry out on the upper control arm is the bushing so you need to find a bushing replacement. It may be easiest to just buy new upper control arms
So other that replacement is their away to stop to squeaking?
wd40, grease, and oil. things dont squeak for no reason. there is probably somthing else wrong with the car.
The squeak is definently coming from that control arm bushing. but Ill give it some lube and see if that helps
well you gotta replace teh bushing. It may have dried out since there is stuff kinda like grease in it. either get new upper ball joints which may come with a bushing or new control arms. Idk if you can buy just replacement bushing for there. I had read online you cannot take those control arms apart
awww control arms it is.
i could be wrong though. tomorrow ill have to check mine. I think i have them in a box in my garage. What state you in? if your closeish ill sell ya mine
Im in washington 98036
