Default Do anchor camber kits squeak?

The squeak is not as defined as squealing brakes when you are stopping but its definitely annoying enough for me to be seeking help now. Im not sure if its my shocks that are making the noise or the camber kit. When i push down on the car from the outside i dont hear anything but if im riding through my neighbourhood its squeaks especially over speedbumps. I want to have an idea before i begin throwing my money away.

Car: 95 lx 4dr
susp: GR2's/dzone springs
CK: Ingalls anchor

I dont know if its any help, but after I lowered my car the front squeaks on just about any movement. I got to looking and feeling around on my suspension and I found out that its the dust sheild on the back of my brake rotors, i havent figured out why its squeaking yet though.

Honda has had a continuing issue with ball joint squeek (only squeaks when the suspension deflects). 90% of the time, it's the lower joints. Unfortunately, they are a sealed unit......
Honda came out with a tech bullitin on this suggesting "Messaging" the joint (totally ineffective). The problem is the monkey snot they assemble them with; it drys out over time leaving the ball stud unlubricated.

So i brought it to 2 shops today, the first guy told me that it was the lower joints after pushing down on it a few times. The second guy told me it was the camber kit, he said they probably weren't lubricated properly. None of these guys actually took the wheels off to look by the way. Im still not sure which one it is; camber kit or lower joints? If its not too expensive i'll probably just have both replaced.

If just one of them had had the ambition to lay on his back and touch the ball joint as someone else bounced the car, you would have had a yes/no answer.
But no, you're still dealing with a guessing game.

I hope the next crowd you send it to is a little more serious about fixing it right.

Good Luck
