76.12Rear shock top mount "groans"ZEKE::dmdg07.zko.dec.com::ASCHNEIDERAndy Schneider - DTN 381-1696Tue Jun 03 1997 11:5013
I've got a 96 Honda Odyssey.  The rear suspension is spring with
shocks.  I've had a situation recently when hauling 6 adults, the
top rear shock mount starts to squeak/groan.  It occurs when 
going around a corner (the van "lists" somewhat during this
maneuver), or when going over a bump and the shock is expanding
back out.  All mounts are tight.  The top mount is a single threaded
shaft.   Could this be a sign of the top mount not tight enough,
getting worn (only 14K miles), or in need of some sort of lubrication?
This isn't germain to the Odyssey - but rather rear shocks with
the single-bolt shaft mount on top.

thanks,
andy
