Hi,

Car: 2012 Si Sedan

My suspension (not sure if it's shocks or springs or something else) is squeaking every time I go over a bump, even small bumps. However, I notice the squeak only happens during warm weather, so during the warmer days, it'll squeak whereas at night it doesn't at all. I noticed the noise 6 months after I purchased the vehicle.

Does anyone else have this issue? And any advice other than "turn up the stereo" is appreciated. lol

Thanks,

Avoid bumps? lols I kid. Im going to take a guess its the rear suspension. Check the grommet and spring area for rubbing or movement.

I'd look at the springs to see if some are bowed, and/or the springs are touching their selves. if so there are sleeves that can be slid on to the coils, and/or lube where the ends of the coils rest on their plates. This would be my 1st choice on where to start.
