I have had the front lower ball joints replaced by my local Honda dealer, and have had to take the car in again a few times. But, I also replaced the front 2 struts by my own personal mechanic. Now, everytime it seems whenever I go over bumps, I hear squeaking noises from the front. This noise happens intermittently, sometimes I donlt hear it for weeks. Several months ago, I had also replaced all for brakes and rotors, however everytime I apply the brakes, I hear a clicking sound, and I know this comes somewhere from the back brakes mechanism area. Why it does this I don;t know. Could you be of some assistance in this matter?

For your noise in the front end it could be the strut mounts, or bushing, also there could be a rubber ring that the spring sits on that is gone or in bad shape, when you replaced your struts some of these parts are overlooked and should be replaced at the same time. There is also a strut housing that can be worn out and in need of replacement (not as likely as the other parts). For the clicking noise, do your brakes including e-brake work fine, it could be as simple as needing to add some more anti-squeek compound, but if something is loose or there is a clip or spring that hold the pads in place is a little worn or loose you will need to replace it, pretty easy to look at your self since there disk if you want to.
