That high pitched noise, is it a metal on metal sound? do you hear it constantly? do you hear it every 1 wheel rotation? do you hear it when the cars running only, or in gear as well? Some of those answers may help.

BokChoi · 05-06-2007, 06:25 PM

i believe it is only coming from the passenger side. its a very high pitched squeak that happens when the car is moving slow either in drive or reverse. when i get to higher speeds the sound stops. i dont know how to describe the sound. it is very very high pitched and loud sounding almost like a car with bad power steering.

See if you bent your dust cover while working that side. You may have bent it just enough to be touching the rotor slighty.

Im thinking here... im thinking... hummm...

Your belts are all on the passenger side as well..

BokChoi · 05-06-2007, 06:48 PM

ill have to wait until 2morrow to diagnose the problem, thanks for the info.

BokChoi · 05-07-2007, 08:24 PM

problem fixed!!! the dust guard was rubbing against the rotor just as Chris had predicted!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Chris is the MAN.

*Chris07LB* · 05-08-2007, 07:10 AM

Glad to help, and glad it was something simple to fix.

07typeS · 05-08-2007, 11:02 AM

glad you got it fixed. I had that same problem on my brothers older accord. It was just so old and the metal got so flimsy that I just took it off. It was a very annoying sound, that I do remember.

Thanks, great instructions.
I used Sprint performance springs (claimed 1.75 inch drop) and the car actually rides better than before. I will post pic soon.

DIY was a great help. just a note' i found using a deep offset box end wrench worked very well for the removal of the strut tower bolt.

Thanks, B.

I would agree with that if only I could find a shop that sold them I have checked everywhere around here. Freakin newbie I thought that would be an easy tool to find.

Let me recommend a craftsman set, lifetime warranty is a must and you have all the tools that you need. No complaints here

Jester - you still need one? Ill send you one.

I welded a rod onto the side (towards the top) of a cheap socket and it worked fine. Just gotta have a cheap welder!

MrJester · 05-18-2007, 05:59 PM

I mean I could use one but I got my springs installed so I am good.

nsmitchell · 05-31-2007, 10:31 AM

Hey Chris07LB, you should put in your required tool the Spring Compressor. If someone (complete noob) tries to do it without one, they will get one hell of a suprise and maybe a trip to the hospital. Just my 2 cents.

*Chris07LB* · 05-31-2007, 09:01 PM

You should read the DIY again.. its not only shown in the pics, but also mentioned a few times.

This is only a "guide" to help with the install/removel process.

I think he's trying to call you a NOOB KILLER, Chris.
