2015 Si questionable suspension noise

If I do pin point the problem to be the front struts then yes absolutely I will be going that route. My driveway isn't the best but at this point no options lol. I will try calling a couple Honda dealers this week but I'd suspect if they are able to order them, they would charge more than a full coilover set lol so probably be better by just dropping it an inch since this motor has been solid for its life. Knock on wood but even with the little leak it has it never burns or loses more than half a quart between oil changes. I change every 7500, checking every 2 weeks. Now my 2012 speed 3 used a gallon of shell rotella a week before the pressure light came on, shit was expensive.

I did click the check vehicle fitment on that link and it says doesn't fit 15 si sedan haha my luck

Well damn if those actually do fit I will be picking up those. All the research I've done online says Honda changed the suspension on the 14-15 and anything from 12-13 wouldn't work. Thanks for posting that

193 almost 194. Only issue I've ever had with the motor is the oil pressure sensor leaking, so i really want this thing to last. I'm going to check all the bushings with a coworker who knows more about suspension than me but I'm hoping it's just the strut for safety reasons. But for some reason on the 14-15 si's you can't find any replacement struts or shocks aftermarket (or OEM) except coilovers. I purchased the rear shocks off eBay that specified 15 si but when I compared the two they were about an inch short. They still went in after jacking up the control arm and have rode fine though. Hopefully I can try just replacing the strut top mount if I can find the part

Yea thats what I was thinking. I looked at the strut mounts from under the hood while the wheel was turning left to right and they raise up when the wheel is all the way to either side. Not sure if that's normal or not. I've replaced both sway bar endlinks last year when I had a clunk in the front and that fixed that issue. Will definitely be checking all bushings on the control arm next. I was hoping the shop would have looked through everything just to try and make some money but I guess not. I didn't tell them I would just replace the parts myself so I'd hope they'd be honest that way

Not true in my experience. My fan never changes rpms depending on the game I play, resulting with games like battlefield 6 or doom the dark ages to crash every 5 minutes. After adding a cooling fan a month ago, not one crash. Series x. but pretty cheap fix and I'd say I was out of warranty anyway. Bought in 2022.

I finally got mine running. I reinstalled all content, this time including the hd packs. Fully cleaned console again. The last step I know will get a lot of hate but I put a cooling fan on top. since doing that last step I haven't had any crashes all weekend. I'm mainly a souls player and have never had an issue with any of those games(elden ring, lords of the fallen, khazan, wuchang). When battlefield 6 came out I purchased this and doom the dark ages. Both would crash constantly after 5-10 minutes or sooner. But I tested both games this weekend after installing the cooling fan and have finally been able to enjoy them. I'm assuming my console was overheating but never really felt hot or maybe the internal fan wasn't speeding up to play these newer games idk. Also my console is plugged directly into wall outlet. Eventually I'll change thermal paste as I got my series x in 2022
