Default Stupid Squeek

I have this squeek coming from the front of my car. Almost like the squeek of one of those dorm room beds when your havin at it with a lady friend. I am convinced it is in the suspension. It usually only does it when it is cold and it seems to get worse when it is wet out. Any time I hit a bump or uneven spot in the road it does it. It's more evident when I am going very slow. I can't replicate the noise when the car is parked no matter how much I shake the car around. I have had it to Honda ten million times and they can't seem to find the problem. I even took the tech out and had him listen to it. I keep thinking maybe it is the bushings. But they refused to replace them. Any Ideas?

Try white lithium grease on the hood latch mechanism

Will do. Honda was supposed to have done this already.

It really sounds like it is coming from the wheel area.

Might try cleaning and re greasing the swaybar bushings.

I thought I had a swaybar squeak and it was the hood latch. Mine sounded like it was coming from anywhere but that latch.

I will try that. After I grease the latch. This thing is pissing me off. I also have a slight rattle at times and can't figure out where it is coming from.

My experience as well. At times I swore it was coming from under the passenger seat. Little grease on the D-hook for the hood and all is good.

Greased the bushings on the sway bar. The noise isn't as bad but its still there. I guess I could replace the bushings.
