Default help with car noise?

there seems to be a lot of losen nuts and bolts or something in my car.. i hear one in my dash.. somewhere deeeeep inside the driver side of the dash.. sounds like something's lose.. everytime im on bumpy road.. samething with the passenger side behind or around the seat area where the seat belt is.. i've kinda taken some of the parts off around the seat belt to see wat was lose but can't find wat it is..

also, i hear some squeaky noise from the suspension i believe on the front left.. but only wen i make a somewhat sharp RIGHT turn..

my car is 02, salvaged titled, restored completely to new, and i've owned it for about 7 months. the squeaky noise from suspension area started way after i purchased the car,, possibly soon after wen some lady hit me on the passer side in the parking lot, at maybe 5 mph or something.

anybody have any ideas??? thnx

Have you done a Honda Inspection?

Also, did you find out why the car was salvaged?

You should always do an inspection prior to buying any used car. (Esp. if they are worth over $10k and/or salvaged)

It's late now, but you should roll by the dealership and have them inspect it, I think it is about $80 for an all-around check.

It could be the passenger seat belt buckle hitting the door panel. Does the sound go away when someone is sitting in the passenger's seat (and buckled the seat belt, of course). When the passenger seat is empty, try pushing the buckle all the way up to the "shoulder" of the seat and see if the noise goes away. Good luck.

Or as an alternative, just buckle the seat belt while no one is in the passenger seat.
