Honda Civic Creaking Noise Over Bumps? Check These Sway Bar Bushings First

Honda Civic creaking or crunching noise over bumps? In this video, I show how I diagnosed and reduced a creaking / crunching noise over speed bumps on my 8th gen 2009 Honda Civic by checking and lubricating the front and rear sway bar bushings. I also track down a small power steering fluid leak near the pump area and show where it was coming from. If your Civic has suspension noise over bumps, this video will help you check the sway bar bushings, inspect the sway bar links, and look for other possible causes. In this video I cover: • Creaking / crunching noise over speed bumps • Front sway bar bushing inspection • Rear sway bar bushing inspection • Lubricating sway bar bushings • Front and rear sway bar bushing torque specs • Power steering leak check near the pump Applies to 8th gen Honda Civic models: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 Related videos: Torque Wrench:    • ANPUDS Torque Wrench Review: Affordable & ...   Power Steering Leak:    • Honda Civic Power Steering Leak or Whine n...   Power Steering Flush:    • Power Steering System Flush, Step-by-Step ...   VTEC Gasket:    • Civic 8th Gen oil leak, VTEC Solenoid, rep...   Replacing Front Struts:    • Replacing Front Struts on a 2009 8th gener...   Replacing Rear Shocks:    • 2006-2011 8th Gen Honda Civic,  Rear Shock...   Shop tools and products I use: My Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/dannysdiy...
