eliminating chassis flex creaks.

[PaZzMaN-R]

is it not the chassis twisting?
if it is the chassis twisting then souldnt strut bars contribute to fixing the problem?

lubing up the dry bushings sounds like a good idea.
give it a go steve and let us know how it goes

[kayot1k]

yes sir

[[ricer]]

im not 100% sure but i have a feeling some of the sounds are contributed by the rear trims that cover the tailight.

how does a squeaky swaybar sound like ?

omfg mines exactly in the same place
and io tried pulling my tail light out and all and still no fix
pm me if u find the problem please man

[revNhevN]

my parcel try jumps around. different parts of the car vibrate at different rpms. i find turning up the radio hide the noises.

Try to have a softer trye presure, it should works.
I have a EK civic too, when ever I have harden my tryes to 38 -42psi it have a lot of noise from the back, when I reduce the pressure to 32-36, most of it gone.
it work in my car, please let us know your result.

[kayot1k]

heehee.
im only running 32psi in the rears and 33psi in the fronts yo.
ricer, do u have a rear strut brace/c-pillar ?

i do notice sometimes, the metal clips on the trims make some squeaky noises from time to time.
maybe using some wd40 should fix that matter.

[mr173]

I have a rear brace but still stock shock's with sport spring.
may be wd40 will work for the clips, I don't know.
but I been eliminlate noise from the suspension with WD40 too..sprays on the stroke inside the protective boot and the top mounting seal.
also have been found noise from losen bolt of seat too, just tighten up.
but I still can't solve the tailgate noise

For chassis flex, get a rollcage...

[[ricer]]

i got a c pillar
the rear strut is hard to put on ek unless u take the trims off or cut them

For chassis flex, get a rollcage...

roll cages in street cars usualy increase the chances of serious injury in road accidents are are highly not recomended by people who investigate colisions.

you dont have to take the trims off .. just cut thru the plastic with a dremel/rotary tool

you notice it on driveways .. cuz your swaybar is trying to straighten your car on uneven ground... happens to me abit, but when i had my cpillar brace on, all my creaks went away. now its off.. they are back.. hahaha but not as bad though.

[dupac->]

i got sways n struts, sways didnt make too much noise when i had them on by themselves, they knocked here n there with occasional squeek but tightening them fixed it. but now since i got the rear strut brace in makes heaps of noise over little humps, drive ways speed humps, well anything that i need to snake it up.
i might need to tighten the strut?
i dont think u could eliminate all the sounds..
