Default Noise with camber kit??

My camber kit (anchor bolts) from specialty products is makin some funny noises. Like when im taking off slow from a stop or just hitting small bumps in the road at a low rate of speed the front kits make some weird noises like stuff is shifting around. The alighnment is still perfect so its not like things are moving around that much. I know its not the control arms hitting because i fixed that problem a while back. Plus the noise isnt even loud, its just annoying. Something i didnt do and probabkly should do is lube those anchor bolts but i dont think thats it either. Maybe its not the camber kit at all. Anyone experience this? Let me know.

its the poly bushings homie! they squeek really bad when they arent lubed. just slap some lube on em and you might have a to do it a few times during the year. i spray a silicon spray on em every now and then and that keeps their mouths shut. if it were really shifting then you would notice some loose steering feeling. i htought the same thing when i first got mine and i kept trying to torque them down. i finally realized it was just the bushings squeeking.

This is a common problem with the camber kits. Not only do they make noise, come out of adjustment. They can also bend shock towers like I have seen.

Your bolts in the engine bay that hold the camber kit probaly came loose. This is a common problem with camber kits. Just tighten the bolts again.

i have the same camber kit on my 95 accord, i felt the same damn way yO..but i got used to it over time hehe...but when it does get annoying, i jus use silicon spray and spray it..it helps a lot, but usually when it rains, it starts sqeaking again.
