Your 2002 Honda Accord sqeaks when turning or driving over bumps The squeaks sound like the springs on an old iron bed Other than noise it drives fine?

There are a few possible causes for the squeaking noise you are hearing from your 2002 Honda Accord when turning or driving over bumps.

* Sway bar bushings. The sway bar bushings are located on the front and rear of your Accord and help to keep the sway bar from moving around. If the sway bar bushings are worn or damaged, they can cause a squeaking noise when the suspension moves.

* Control arm bushings. The control arm bushings are located on the front and rear of your Accord and help to connect the control arms to the chassis. If the control arm bushings are worn or damaged, they can also cause a squeaking noise when the suspension moves.

* Ball joints. The ball joints are located on the front and rear of your Accord and allow the wheels to move up and down. If the ball joints are worn or damaged, they can also cause a squeaking noise when the suspension moves.

* Springs. The springs are located on the front and rear of your Accord and help to support the weight of the vehicle. If the springs are worn or damaged, they can also cause a squeaking noise when the suspension moves.

To determine which of these components is causing the squeaking noise, you will need to have your Accord inspected by a qualified mechanic. The mechanic will be able to identify the source of the noise and recommend the necessary repairs.

In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to try to reduce the noise:

* Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the sway bar bushings, control arm bushings, and ball joints.

* Replace the springs if they are worn or damaged.

* Have your Accord aligned if it is out of alignment.

These steps may not eliminate the squeaking noise completely, but they may help to reduce it.
