Default SPC camber kit issues

ok i dunno if this happens to anyone else but with my SPC camber kit. when i rotate it all the way out to correct my camber it works great for about a week then it starts to work its way back around to the back and its off again. i have had this kit since november of 2001 so its pretty old. this is the kit i have
how could i fix this to keep it from rotating back around?

Have you tried any loc-tite on the threads or maybe safety wire. Just some suggestions.

well the actual bushing rotates around back towards the inside so i don't see how i could use locktite. the safety wire thing is a good suggestion tho.

teflon or graphite grease will fix your squeaking problem.

well i called someone at SPC today and he couldn't find any torque specs, he said to make sure its even and tighten the bolts as tight as i can. i'm gonna fix it back tomorrow and see if it messes up again. then i will get an alignment in a few weeks as soon as i put on the ST swaybar kit im gonna order.

has anyone else had this problem?

Hey mine squeaks too. Where do you apply the grease? Inside the poly bushing? Thanks.
