I am finding that when I am driving my civic after it rains it drives alot more quietly.
I own a EM1 and as u all must know the quality of the car isnt all that great. Durning non raining days with the music down you can hear alot of joints making squeeky sounds but when it rains I guess the water lubicants certains joint around the car and stop those anooying sounds
I was wonder if any here would have any idea where about these noise are coming from? Maybe when I have my next service I will get them to solve this problem I have.

thanks in advance

Just saying 'noises' won't help us diagnose the problem.

We need more SPECIFIC info.

Well... the sound is coming from the rear end of the vehicle. Like going over pot holes or bump on he road. My guess its from the shocks or springs.
I just find the car seems smoother or firmer after rain.

EM1 coupes are known to creak a little (I remember someone said something about the boot creaking?)

Do a search.....a few people said the cause of creaking before. If its rubber, the water could be lubricating the rubbing parts.
