Buy at205 spray on rubber parts
Absorber mounting should be the part making noise when you hit bumps

UPDATE:

Just changed the stabilizer bar bushes at SC and the creaking is gone. It seems this is a common problem for this model City.

I was also STRONGLY ADVISED not to lubricate these bushes or absorber mount and othert parts tht were designed to function dry. It seems they have seen quite a few customers come after using AT205 and other simillar products, where the rubber part degrades terribly after some time and becomes useless. Some others had corrosion and surface damage on the metal parts and painted surface.

Just be careful and be warned if anyone thinking of trying that stuff out.

Wah. My 2 yr old civic has friction sound at drivers rear wheel. It is not hard knocking sound but it sounds like friction (sound like the bottom of your car hit high hump) when go through wide hump. Small hump no sound.

Are yours with the same sound? My Civic only managed to make appointment at Honda on Friday

Most likely sound comes from this part.
You can try spray wd40 see sound goes away.

If yes then can buy at205 later to apply

Visible, just spray more let it flow. Open hood can see d. Go Google struts

It's a piece of rubber that holds absorber to body and cushion the absorber when hit bumps

Be careful.

Read My above post.

Honda SC strongly recommends against using this product for stabilizer bush and absorber mount! After thinking about it i think there might be a safety issue as well. If something is designed to work dry (no grease oso) then if we lubricate it/spray stuff on it..it may cause a malfunction because of the slippery film on the surface. esp for moving parts and suspension. Don play-play and take the risk la.

Did the sound go away after you changed the mount and absorber?

SC has quoted me RM1484 to change front absorbers (together with dust cover, bump stop and rubber comp - i think this is the rubber mounting)

peace of mind - less likely to get scammed for unecessary repairs, warranty for all work done, original parts assured, better waiting experience.

No i did not. I'm just sharing the feedback i got from Honda SC when i told them about the AT205 spray recommended by Scotty. Seems it could be dangerous. Just hope everyone will be careful in trying stuff out, itu je.

Yeah, dry mechanical bushes that dont require any lubricants should just be left alone, they werent designed for lubes anyways

The creaking sound from these dry joints should be immediately checked for any wear and tear, most of the time the sound will go away after a few days, whilst lubrication might reduce or eliminate the sound, but it’ll just make the bushes degrade more over time

I had the same problem. Going over bumps or bumpy roads, you will hear that sound 'creaking'. This is due to the lower-arm joint. I guess your car went into a pool of water (or flood), then this problem start occurring.

To solve this, spray silicone lubricant on the lower arm joint (left & right). You will need to turn the streering full-left and full-right to access them. For me, I spray on 3 spots on each side of the car. No sound after that. Of course, you will need to re-spray the silicone lubricant every few months when the sound starts again.
