Default Squeaky sounds after tie bar and camber kit install?

Well my driver side tie rod ends were done with and need'd to be replaced. While the shop was looking at it they noticed my tires where fucked also and said they had a progress camber kit for $150 and it was for front and rear (well the rear is just longer bolts and some washers) anyway my car is squeaky as hell expecially when it's cold out. Will this go away? will it just take time for the new rubber to work in?

No, the noise will always be there..its the bushings,you can spray em down with some type of lubricant..but it always comes back. Thats why im going to ditch mine
it makes it sound like an old car im going to ITR springs and gettin rid of em

progress bushings are polyurethane.. either they probably forgot to grease them up or the supplied grease isn't good enough. white lithium grease works very good

oh and you did remember to get an alignment after the camber kit install didn't you? it'll throw off your toe settings by a lot

hmmm i have the ingalls that are polyurethane. did not put them in yet but have to soon. gonna put them in myself. i am just wondering about the squeaking noise. i really do not like it when my car squeaks. would the lithium grease stop the squeaking for a long period of time? or would i be better off getting the rubbing kit instead? thanks

i had the Ingalls front camber kits installed and mine didn't make any squeaky noise..but just started to click....and seemed that they started to get loose....so i got them re-tightened...and they seemed to do it again...ditched mine and just got some coilovers ....anyways...rotation every oil change should be fine..and if the tires start thinning out then flip them.....and slight camber is better for your car anyways.......
