Heres the deal I got a 1997 prelude with 105000 miles on it. Suspension is factory and only thing I have replaced on it is a right rear wheel bearing. Now the thing is on cold morning the suspension will pop when accelerating from a complete stop. I have heard that the sway bar bushings are the culprit. Is this the case? Also I have had problems with the drivers side front end. I have gotten a few alignments but it doesnt seem to help, my tire on that side is feathering whether its my stock wheels or my aftermarkets wheels. I hear this is a toe in toe out problem but I also think my bushings may be to blame because when I turn my wheel left or right, I get a horrible squeeking sound. This sound happens when I go over bumps too. My cv boots are fine from what I can see so I dont think thats the problem. I think it may be my front end suspension bushings going bad. How long do these bushings usually last? How much would it cost to get them all replaced at a honda dealer? Also has anyone else experienced these problems? If so please let me know and let me know what you guys think of these problems.

Also squeeks when humid or wet outside. It happens on and off and wd 40 only seems to temporarily fix the problem. Could it be ball joints, bushings, or what? It has to be a moving part somewhere in that left front end. I hear Accords have these problems too, only in the left front suspension, weird.

Huh that is funny, I just got a 97 SH and I had to replace the exact same bearing... I don't have any problems with the suspension though, sorry to hear about your problem...

Good luck...
