The squeeks are probably coming from the suspension bushings. I had the same problem on a previous car and that fixed it.

Another thought, it could also be your front sway bar. It's held in place with rubber bushings and clamps and can squeak if not greased properly. I forgot the grease when I installed my Mugen bar and it squeeked until I added the grease. It's a real easy thing to check/fix.

I also have the squeak when I'm going over things like speedbumps, at any time of day.

When you applied the grease, did you have to remove the sway bar or did you just apply it directly without removing anything?

I also have a squeak when going over bumps and potholes. Not sure if cold weather matters but I will listen more carefully when the temp drops and at night time.

Mine does it to.

I don't recall hearing it prior to me installing new brake pads. I always thought it was the shims moving around when the caliper is jarred when you hit a bump. I've never noticed it at low speed so maybe I'm hearing something different.

My S2k is totally stock (for now) so I don't think it's the brake pads. Hey 2X6SPDS, let us know if they find anything out using those hi-tech equipments.

I will, Kyleem.

Went for a ride tonight to treat my squeaking baby to a treat of 100 octane Unocal 76 racing gas.

I noticed the squeaking was louder at night just as someone here posted. I also noticed that the sound was quite loud at even very low speeds. I have to back into my garage because the driveway angles down (declines) toward the garage and the garage floor has a 1" lip that won't allow me to pull in front first. I noticed as I rolled over the 1" lip at no more than 1 - 2 mph a groaning and creaking from the front center. I rolled backwards and forwards over the lip and repeated these sounds again and again. I don't think it is the suspension, at least in my car. I have no idea what it is and really hope that this high tech 8 channel microphone set up Honda World finds the problem.
