ok...wft...

Ok, I have this really annoying sound coming from my front left suspension. Its a creaking, squeeking sound that happens when I roll over bumps...or just itty bitty dips in the pavement (even slopes)

I can hear it when I coast through the neighborhood @ less than 10mph...but Im sure it happens all the time (just cant hear it over the road noise, exhaust, radio, etc etc etc).

No, Im not slammed (koni yellows and h&r sports)
Yes, the suspension is pretty new (only months old)
Yes, I re-installed the dust sleeves (and every other part is on there too)

The tokicos did this too...only on the right side (no i didnt swap parts when exchanging suspension, or move parts from the right side to the left)

help...its annoying and embarassing

ok update on this problem:
took everything apart...everything...down to individual pieces. Put it all back together and bumping it each time to simulate a bump in the road. Siliconed the washers onto the bumpstop and the one on top of the dust shield (who knew...maybe that was it).
Extended the fat rubber washers (part 6 above) to press down more on washer 8 as well. Used mucho Lithium grease on the rubber washers too (part 6 again).

Put it all back together and test drove it...I didnt fix it...I was and still am extremely pissed

If you have ANY suggestions let me know because its driving me nuts

Depending on your bushings.. polyurethane bushings always squeak, while polygraphite won't.. that's why I opt for the latter. No noise, same performance, a little less rigid so you don't break your ass when you hit bumps..

definately the front...i drove my whole route today w/o radio

you know...it might be the pads...there is a new slight metal rubbing metal sound

It was suggested today that it may be the tie rods or steering linkage...maybe?

edit**pads are sitting on the rotors at rest...bastards. Im making an apointment w/ honda on friday for an alignment and I'll have em check the pads out along with the rods and linkage. I dont care how much it costs at this point...$10000 would be fine as long as the sucker gets fixed
