Auto Repairing 1997–1998 Honda Accords Front Suspension Squeaks in Cold Weather
On ’97–98 Accords, ’96–98 Preludes, and ’97–98 Odysseys, stiff lower arm ball joints in the front suspension can squeak in cold weather. To stop the squeaking, you need to exercise the ball joint. Here’s how: 1. Pop loose the front suspension lower arm ball joint from the lower arm (see section 18 in the appropriate S/M for details). 2. Move the tapered ball joint pin left and right and back and forth as far as you can 10 times in each direction. 3. Move the tapered ball joint pin to the limit of its stroke, then push it around the joint 10 times in a circular direction. 4. Reinstall the lower arm to the ball joint. 5. Repeat this procedure for the other side.
