No idea. Doesn't mean its directly related to your spring install.
Only thing I can think of is, on the passenger side, when you removed the strut, did you let the spindle flop out and down away from the car's wheel well? This happens sometime, but with our car, the shaft will pop out.. chances are it didnt happen, because you would notice a problem right away once you put the car in gear. |

could it be that i didnt firmly tighten the nut above the bushing. my bushings are seated a little bit above the metal, they were seated firmly on the metal with the stock springs. is this normal?

Thats normal after the spring install.

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.

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.. |

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.

DIY
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. |
