Check to see if brake fluid was spilled on the suspension, causing
squeaky bushings.

Get the pumping problem checked. It could be air or water
contamination, the wrong fluid, or a gasket was damaged during the
original problem.

Thanks for the response! I may already have squeaky bushings they
only squeak in cold weather though. This is more of a grinding sound.
I'll get these things checked out, I may reply back later with more
info.

Squeeky bushings are standard issue equipment in
older cars.

My 01 Prelude has them in the rear
and it is only noticeable in cold weather.

As far as the grinding sound, check your CV joints.
Remember, if anyone tells you to replace them or
rebuild them, it's actually cheaper to replace the
entire half-shaft instead (by about $300). HTH
