yes, open engine bay, see those strut mount on top of front wheel, spray those. (left and right side)
if those struts are compromised kawkaw, the moment you brake, you can feel your car twist (or unstable).

absorber hard to spoil, usually they will check for signs of oil leak.
if none then change the mounting will do.

you already kana parang when you change whole set where as it's the rubber mount making annoying noise

No choice. First time encounter this. And I did check online say absorber normally wear and tear too. So just change whole set

already 5 years since you changed, rubber shrink a bit they rub against each other when hit bump can cause annoying noise.

spray some WD40 on it, let it flow down. if sound goes away then confirm come from that part.

If spray at-205 onto the mounting need to dilute the solution? Won’t get worse right?

Wonder if can also work for engine mountings or not?

Hi everyone. my Honda City TMO (2010) has been making creaking sounds at the front ('nyek -nyek'...like old spring bed ) when going over uneven surface / the slightest bumps. I took the car to Honda SC a few weeks back when the sound was not so obvious, and they said it was the STABILIZER BAR BUSH. I have since tried to google this and found that worn out stabilizer bush will result in clunking or knocking sound and not creaking.
I have an appointment to replace the stabilizer bar bush in a few days @ RM120+, but  i am not confident it will solve the problem. The SC did say that my front absorbers need to be changed as well since its almost 9 years old. But again, according my Google searches, bad shocks don't creak - they only leak, go dead, etc. (Do correct me if i am wrong). My priority is getting rid of the sound since the ride doesn't seem harsh to me esp since the car is mostly used for short trips.

There is no sound when turning the steering. No other problems with car ride or handling. Everything in the car is stock. Im guessing it is something to do with the coil spring mounting

Really appreciate if those who have faced this problem could share their experience and how it was resolved. Thanks a lot

for 9 yo car .. better get it fix outside if cost is your concern. stabilizer bush only cost few bucks per piece. few other possible cause is absorber mounting/absorber/lower arm. can check the price at sparepart shops / lazada / shopee to get an idea how much it cost. SC sure cut throat price ler.

why dont u open the hood n push down the front bumper. get someone to try to identify where the sound coming from.

No need to dilute. Just spray. If the piece or rubber is big piece then spray let it soak and re-spray.

But dont let it kena car body as it is not paint friendly.

It works on all rubber. It absorb into rubber make it swell. One thing you must understand is what's your rubber conditions. If it shrink then ok, but if crack d then it won't work.

I do use this as lubrication for lower arm rubber, CV boots, engine mounting, absorber mounting, for preventive maintenance method. (whatever rubber will fail at some point, even rubber seals inside engine, transmission will fail, thats why old car leak oil, cuz the rubber shrink, harden, crack d)

Watch min 4.14
Buy a "silicon lubricant" and spray at that area of the absorber, as shown in the video.

Mine city 2013. After spraying, the squeaks become less audible.
And to access the absorber, just turn steering wheel all the way left / right. No need to jack up car.

"Silicon lubricant" can get less than rm20, ace hardware, Mr DIY, etc.

Tx for the suggestion. It seems like a temporary fix though. Read quite a few reviews about how the sound came back a shortwhile after

Funny

When the absorber top mounting got noise, it means it is loose. Worn out. Not suppose to have movement.

Just change it.
