Default Skunk 2 Camber kit and Squeeking!

I just installed the fronts and got them aligned but now they're squeeking. Any suggestion or solutions on how to fix this problem? Thanks!

Don't know what would cause it, but if you put a little automatic tranny fluid on it, it may go away. I have this same problem with my Camber kit, except its on the right rear. The rubber fell out somehow and now the metal is rubbing against the metal and squeaking. WD-40 will work too, but the auto tranny fluid works for a longer time. Inspect it to see why its squeaking, maybe you'll need to return it.

Thanks Dino! Is there a specific kind of lubricant I can use besides WD40 or automatic tranny fluid.

I had to have my camber kit shaved a little bit. it didn't squeak it made a rubbing noise pretty bad on my R. I couldn't figure out the problem so i had a local shop help me out and they figured out that was the problem. mine never squeaked though

Mine only squeeked because part of the camber kit rubbed the shock tower wall from the inside. I shaved part of it off and it doesn't squeek anymore.

I would think any automatic tranny fluid would work. Just depends on what is making the squeak. It worked for me, but like these other dudes, it wouldn't have worked for them really.

Check in that thread for the issues with the arm hitting the body. Solved with a little angle grinder action.
