Default another camber kit question!

I have my car lowered and have had a camber kit on it for about a year now. I searched but cannot find anything on a squeaky camber kit.

I have tokico blues with tein springs. When I hit bumps and whenI am driving my car squeaks like crazy . It is getting annoying as hell, any ideas on what it might be? A buddy of mine told me it might be the camber kit, I was wondering if anyone else might have an idea of what it might be.

. thanks

Many camber kits utilize polyurethane bushings, which can (and often do) squeak.

So the bushings could be worn?

The bushings don't necessarily have to be worn, as even new polyurethane bushings can squeak. It's simply a characteristic of the material, and lubricating them can help to quiet the squeaking.

I've seen sway bar mounts with grease fitting to eliminate sway bars from squeaking. Not likely but some squeaking could be from that too.
