You know that sound an old bed makes with real old springs when you lay down and get up? I get that iritating sound when I give my Fit some gas. Also when I go over a speed bump. Front only, not the rear. I park it and push down on the finder to try an duplicate it but can't. It is an 09 with 94k miles. Surely it is not the shocks! Anybody have a idea. Is there an easy cure? I like DIY

Try giving it "gas" with the car off. Could be your throttle pedal or associated hardware.

 

Your foot?

sorry.

rubber suspension bushings in Hondas are prone to dry out and make annoying noises.

I talked to Honda about it and they offered to replace them. Instead I bought and give them a squirt when I change the oil. No more squeaks, squeals, or groans. At least from the car.
