Default Ap2 S2000 Squealing like a Pig on a bump

Hi,

My 04 S2000 is squealing like a pig everytime I hit a bump. The noise is not from the cabin but somewhere from the front of the car. It sound like worn bushing on a 100k car. However, my car is only 7k miles, almost brand new. What do you thing it can be ? Has anyone experimented such problem before ?

Thanks

If nothing was done on the suspension, take it to a Honda dealer for warranty repair, because your car is less than 3 years old and less than 36k miles.

Hi,

Nothing has been done to the car yet. I want to add that the squealing noise only comes when I drive the car for about 15 minutes. If I park the car and let it cool down, the squeak disappear. This kind of problem is very difficult to show especially to a technician since it is on/off problem.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you tell me what is "spring space" ? Can I see it if I lift the car ?

Thanks

Intermitten squeaking noise is hard to pin point to. You may need to leave your car at dealer a day or two for them to test drive on bumpy roads to duplicate your problem. But they have your car for a joy ride, that is not good.
