too much chasis flex

[b3nsonx]

I dont know if you guys have this problem or not, but when ever i get out of my driveway, or any of those things, i gotta go kinda slanted so i don't scratch.
But when i do that, i notice that the middle part of my chassis makes creeping sound from the flexing.

Hmmmm.... Its probably noise from the suspension..... How steep is ur driveway?

Your car is almost 20 years old, and its being held together with Honda bond. What do you expect.

You want the problem to go away? Strip the car down to nothing. Stitch weld every seam. Problem solved.

dont need to strip the car down to spot/stitch weld :P

Sure. If you dont want to do it properly.

i always thought that was my poly bushings squeking ?

[accordaffair]

no my car does that it's not the chassis, its sounds like springs but my mechanic said it's only bushings that squeak


and wed3k, I don't have poly bushings...well actually my sway bar bushings are, but my car's always done this

Chassis is old , if our cars are Gran Turismo 4 compatible we could do a rigidity refresher plan.

And a rollcage

Squeaks are often suspension, creaks are often chassis.

If you are that concerned with your chassis flex, be prepared to spend some serious money to fix a "problem" that you probabally won't even notice any difference when fixed other than the lack of noise.

Plus expanding foam in the voids!

wow...

check your bushings definitely first. does the noise continue when driving on a bumpy road? -- then it'll to bushings for sure. take off your front tire and look for the sway bar which has like 4 bushings one between each bar. i just replaced mine and they were gone!

get your chassis oiled and how cold is it when you hear these creaks?

[b3nsonx]

the sounds are more creaks than squeeks.
And it only makes sounds when im getting in and out of driveways, which aren't even that steep...
So going over bumps doesnt make that kind of noise.

That's why i suggested that it was the chassis flexing and twisting.
Maybe because my suspension is too stiff for my chassis to handle? (tein basic coilovers)

maybe getting this would solve the problem?

No, trust me, your Basics are not too stiff at all, this is a very common thing w/ unibody cars, there is some flex and you can def. hear it
