Default suspension squeeking

i got a camber kit yesterday, and i raised my car from the front so the camber can go away more.and when i drive i hear a squeeking noise coming from the front passenger side of my car. it happens when the car goes over any bump, and it does it a lot when its parked and i push the car down from the front passenger side. i dont know what the problem is. somebody please help! thanx.

yea mine does the same thing in the back right, a few people told me it is just the coil overs and it's nothing to be worried about but i'd like to know if that's true as well

It's the bushings - if you got an Ingalls (or similar), they're supposed to be greased.

I greased mine...not really a big help

welcome to aftermarket camber kits..... i have had ingalls front camber kit's on my integras for the last 5 years have been through like 4-5 sets because of the squeaking i found that the polyurethane ones are horrible about this need to be lubed real good with grease, silicone grease every few weeks it seemed. so i switched to the RUBBER kit. much better lasts like a year and a half with no noise. then eventually start making noise. but 100$ every 18 months isnt too bad i guess.

remember after you install and uninstall any suspension parts, you have to torque the bolts/nuts with the suspension compressed. get a jack under one of the control arms, jack it up until you've reached the point where the car will most likely be sitting on the ground, THEN torque down the bolts/nuts. this will greatly reduce the chance of squeaking, if not completely eliminate it altogether.
