ball joints/control arms

[dagovna]

Hi All,Are the suspension components sealed in a 97 Q45(ball joints,control arms, ect.). I noticed a slight squeak when i got in my Q today (balljoints??) never lubed chassis because I also own an Acura/Legend and I noticed that the engineers would rathe you replace a component thats why they where sealed.

I doubt they would change that aspect of the design between 1st and 2nd gens. 1st gens are sealed on the suspension, so the ball joints have to be pressed out and in. I had a squeak too once from the rear, replaced all the bushings and ball joints, and the squeak went away. Glad it wasn't the bearing...those cost quite a bit. Surprised yours "only" lasted as long as they did.
