EX Coupe front suspension noise

[Leonardo629]

I have a EX Coupe that has 600 miles, and the front suspension is already making this "I'm dead, replace me" noise.....what's going on??

This new Civic is making a lot of noise for sure, my passenger seat, rear deck rattle, and the newly added front suspension swoosh sound everytime I go over speedbumps....

This "swoosh", is it like a shock oil sound? If so, and you hear it over speed bumps, then it is normal. You are moving a lot of oil through the orifice when you have such a low speed compression like a speed bump, whether it is a slow, but steep bump or a faster, more gentle bump.

Also, have you tried taking the speed bumps on an angle instead of dead on?

thank you for the input..

The sound was not there during the first 400 miles so, so I really hope my shocks are going bad...

I'm really hoping the shocks are not damaged in anyway since the car still feels the same on the road...

If the shocks were bad I'm sure you would feel it. Like Honda93 said it is perfectly normal to hear the compression sound.
