I have the same thing. It is a very quiet noise when you move slowly?

BLU BY U · 06-01-2006, 07:08 AM

yes it is extremely quiet and i only here it going 5mph or less, or going in reverse. I checked it out and it turns out to be the upper shock mount, im going out right now to see if i can tighten it down, ill keep you updated.

tried to tighten it, but alas i must take it to the dealer this morning. yay

I had this problem back a month ago and I had to warranty replace my rear strut.. this is a known and becoming more of a common problem for our civics

BLU BY U · 06-01-2006, 02:37 PM

great just what i wanted to hear, hopefully they can fix it tomorrow. how long did it take them?

ntwrkguy · 06-01-2006, 11:00 PM

I can hear it whenever I go over a pothole or manhole cover. All the more motivation for me to take in for service soon!

i had the same problem. same place. same noise. it wen taway. i read up that the shocks need to be broken in after certain miles. i have 2000 miles. it's gone. no squeekign at all.

I got the same explanation when I took my EX coupe in for the clicking noise. The service guy told me the suspension needs to be broken for 2,400 miles. Since I took it in for service at about 1,800 miles, I haven't heard the noise since then and I'm currently 2,060 miles.

Uhh..try like ~5200 for me..maybe it got too broken in...

Well 5200 mod 2000 is 1200, so listen again at 6,000 miles, it should go away again.

in C# that would be

int miles = 5200;

if (miles % 2000 == 0)
noise.shouldgoway = true;

If you turn the radio up louder, does the sound go away?

Hi. New guy here. I had my right rear shock replaced at 3000 miles. I think the "gotta break it in" business is BS. You only have to break in the right rear? It's got to be a bad batch.

White05X3 · 03-06-2007, 10:50 PM

It has been a while since anybody has posted in this thread, but my 07 Si Sedan is doing the same thing. Does it really go away on its own or should I take it in?

Thanks!

Skin441 · 03-12-2007, 06:46 PM

07 si sedan going in tomorrow for same problem. 1450miles on car.

DrR10n · 03-12-2007, 10:05 PM

shiet my si sedan has same problem. plus popping sound from front right when going over small dips... i'm taking it in and demanding a rental

Skin441 · 03-12-2007, 11:30 PM

I went by Valencia Honda today they said any warranty work means no rental. WTF..I bought the car a month ago..anyways seems like honda is having a problem with these rear shocks. F%^*.

BLU BY U · 03-13-2007, 04:15 AM

seems all new civics are having shock/strut issues. this is being looked at by honda as we speak.

expect a TSB soon.
