    Question What Struts are cheap or some what cheap for an 89 accord lx-i?

    Hi guy's. I was wondering what shocks are great for our cars, but not too expensive but good?? I need two struts for the front, cuz everytime I go over a bump It makes like a sqeaking noise and it's pissing me off, and not only that, it's embarrising when your driving by people. I am looking for good ones, but some what cheap. Thanks guy's, Peace!

    Well first of all don't be surprised if your squeak is still their after you install new struts. Their are lot's of things in the suspension that can make that noise. Old tired sway bar bushings are one of them. To answer your question. If you never ever plan to lower your car, now or for the life of the strut go to the www.tirerack.com and pickup a set of KYB GR-2's. Very good price for a oem strut I have never seen them anywhere else cheaper.

    I've been having the same problem. Whenever I go over a bump, a horrible squeak sound comes from the rear...I took out the springs a check them...the were alright...so I think it may be a bushing.

    You you mean you had your warped rotors turned or machined?
    What kind of awful noise was it? Were the pads reinstalled with the proper metal backings? Did you use anti squel stuff when reassembling the pads? You can get oem rotor's for like $15 each is you want.
