Springs creak when going over bump? - Honda Prelude Forum

My front springs (at least it sounds like my fronts) creak when I go over a bump such as a speed bump. My back springs don't do it. Everything in my suspension is stock.. Are they going/did they go bad? Thanks.

i'm not sure, but all the preludes are like that i think...you might wanna check if the springs are properly in place..i know with the coilovers that they can just be loose sometimes...when you raise the car...but when i had springs before, it still creaks like hell...and even with the coilover setup that i have now, it still does that....

I think I have the same thing but with the rear struts. It's especially bad when it's cold out like now so I'm not too worried about it. Probably frozen parts that need some lubing.

Check the tightness of the nuts on top of the shocks. My front suspension was creeking and that was the culprit.
