Default squeeky noise from front end maybe starter?

I have a 92 integra w/b16a1. When starting up I hear a sqeeky noise from front. But after a few sec. it stops. Also happens when drivng and making right hand turns. Can anyone give me an idea on what it could be?

Try tightening your belts? Could also be a bushing getting old...

Are you sure you have a B16A1 motor? I don't believe they put those motors in the integras that year. Anyway, check your power steering fluid. My 92 integra did the same thing and I finally found out the fluid was just low.

I checked all the belts before and even sprayed that stuff (watever its called) to stop the squeek in the belts but the sound just keeps coming back here and there. Yes I checked pwr steering fluid and its not it. Recently its been getting worst comes on at some bumps, turns, or even just drivn straight and to make matters worst now my temp gauge drops all the way down. I warm up the engine temp goes about almost half-way but when I start to drive the temp drops way down below and also rpm stays at about 3000 to 2500 when temp is below cold line. Rpm only returns to normal when temp goes back up which it only does when at idle for about 2 to 3 min. What is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if your water temp gauge is reporting that, then I'd say there's a good chance your thermostat is gone. I'd doubt you'd be able to hear that thing squeak, if it makes noise at all while failing, while your engine's running, so I don't think that's the source of the noise. Thanksully, thermostat jobs are easy.

Check your motor mounts and sway bar bushings
