Creak from dashboard

Post by Demetree »

I have a loud creaking noise coming from behind my dashboard, and it is becoming very irritating. It happens mostly when coming out of driveways, and over some big bump and pot holes, but not all of them.

For reference, I have a 2000 ITR with Mugen suspension.

Does anybody have the same problem, or know how to fix it?


I found a thread on Honda-tech where somebody suggested that a TSB for 94-95 Integras might be a solution. The fix was to remove the cowl, and use a blunt punch to beat in a section of the chassis under the windshield where there appear to be multiple layers of sheet metal.

I am thinking of trying this, but I thought I'd post here first before taking a hammer to my car.

Do you have a link or number for that TSB? I haven't seen that one and am curious.

I'm running 5-way adjustables, set to 3 front and rear. They're pretty stiff.
