squeaking suspension

i've had some squeaking from the suspension from nearly day 1. primarily when backing out of the driveway.... or turning up low curbed inclines.

now 51,000 miles later... the squeaking really is no worse than originally.... but last night it suddenly sounded louder. it had suddenly turned much colder after being mild....... dont know if that had any impact.

anyway...... has anyone else had noisy suspensions? based on this forum, it doesnt seem to be an issue with other fit owners. but i noticed it when the car was freakin new.

Yeah, I had it from freaking new. Same issue (end of driveway mostly). Hitting the bushings and spring seats with some
3M Silicone (wet) spray 3M Silicone (wet) spray
every time I change the oil (10K changes here) and nary a squawk. The kind folks at Honda even offered to replace all the bushings while it was under warranty. I gave them my puzzled dog look and went and got the spray.
