Default squeeking after skunk2 rear camber kit instal

Ove the labor day weekend i installed my skunk 2 rear camber kit and went and had an alignment. Everything is in spec and now all of a sudden when i go over big bumps or speed bumps the rear seems to be getting noisy. anyone having this problem or know what i could do to get rid of it?

Thanks

Did you use ALL the lube they gave you with the kit?? You replaced a rubber part with a polyurethane part. Poly squeaks like a bitch if you don't use an absurd amount of lubrication. I found this out first hand on my SRT-4 sway bar install. I used the supplied lube, but did not thoroughly lubricate the bushings. It squeaked very badly until I took off the bars and re-lubricated them. Do not change any of the adjustments the alignment shop made, just remove them and LUBE.
