Default Sqeeky noise!?!

The front of my car seems to sqeek when i drive. I have front camber kits, good shocks, and just changed the upper control arm. Do i just need to lube the camber kit or is it something else. its a 95 civic hatch. Its on both sides of the car and is annoying when i drive.

If its a constant squeal it could be wheel bearings, or brake rotors

my car had this super annoying squeek, and i couldn't figure out where it was coming from, i thought it was teh shocks, then the seat, but after some intense investigation i found it was my seat belt!!!, the little thing you clip it into was squeeking, so annoying!

When the squeak is heard can help a lot with the diagnosis.

Do you hear it when you brake? When you accelerate? Go around a corner?

buy a stethiscope to help you locate annoying noises,

Is the Noise comming from Inside the car or Under the Hood Somwhere?
Is the Noise comming from the Front or Back of Vehicle?
Drivers side or Passenger side?
How long has the Noise been there?
How loud of a Noise is it?
At Which speed do you Hear it?
Is the Noise Continious or does it come and go?
Do you only hear it over bumps or while turning?

i hear it as long as a drive on a bumpy road. and its been there since i've got the camber kit installed. and its defintely coming from the passenger front. im sure its the camber kit just needs some lubing cause it comes from that area.

If you hear it when you start up the car it could be your serpentine belt. You can get a can of belt conditioner for 6 bucks.

Suspensions squeaking, may be worn bushings, or dirt on the springs (yes, that can make it an annoying squeak-like noise if there is too much dirt on pressure points of the springs)

Your lower ball joints may be going bad. And my hatch is doing about the same thing and i just pocked a little hole in the rubber boot and srayed it with greese. and it will stop for about six to eight months
