Wink Suspension Squeak/Creak Over Bumps

Hi fellow s2ki members. The problem that I've been experiencing is a creaking/squeaking noise that occurs mainly when I go over speed bumps at low speeds and when I drive over irregular street pavements. The sound is more of a rubber squeaking contact sound rather than a metal on metal grind or clunking sound and is noticeable in both the front and rear. Did a search to narrow down the solution but had no luck, so if anyone has any helpful advice please chime in.

I sometimes get this but figured it was my soft top. Sounds like crickets.

The bumps have to be just right, rolling and I need to be going fast enough. Hard to pin point the location

I have had this issue as well and have not been able to isolate where it is coming from. Hopefully someone has some information on this

To add just a little more insight on the sound, it sounds like a rubber bushing that needs to be lubed/greased. Also like to know if its something serious enough that could lead to bigger problems if not fixed

How many miles do you have on the car or more importantly the suspension. My old integra did something simialr but it had a lot of miles.

It could be the bushing or struts. I had my front struts replaced on the S but that was from a clunking sound.
