Default My Suspension Is making Sqeaky noise.

Alright when ever I go over a little bumps or something my front left suspension makes little sqeaking noises. I poped my hood to check, i pushed my car down and up and you can hear the same sqeaking noises. The little ring thing on the suspension isn't tighten down because of the screw that doesn't screw down,
video ...
note: squeaking is actually louder in real life, and wen you drive.


this is the screw that won't screw because i probably stripped it wen i tightened it with a torque wrench, which i heard you arent suppose to use to tighten it.


So should i replace that screw? if so where could i get one?
thanks in Advance

Put an allen wrench in the top to hold it from turning, then tighten the nut.

Yep. The OE damper rod has a hex socket to allow you to use an Allen key to keep it from spinning while you turn the nut with a wrench.

My front suspension squeeks, but it is because of cheap@$$ rubber bushings on my cheap@$$ replacement front upper control arms.

haha wat? No camber kits here. I have some cheap OE-style replacement upper arms I got because I wanted new ball joints.

It came with new bushings on the inner mounts, but I may just swap back over to the original bushings of my old OE arms.
