Default Squeaking Noise over speed bumps

Everytime I go over a speed bump, my front end makes this squeaky/rubbery sound... it bugs the hell out of me. My friend that owns a shop says its my "Cheap Progress Camber Kit". Is it the camber kit or could it be my springs because they're just perched directly on the strut(I'm not sure if there should be anything between the strut and the spring).

Definetly bushings, probably on the front sway bar.
I'd WD-40 them. But I'm sure someone else has a better idea.

Shouldn't I just grease them up? Would I need to do an alignment again?

shouldn't need an alignment, just put/spray a little lube on em and see where it takes you.

Grease, don't lube with w40 or any thing like that, it'll only make things worst, believe me!!!

TRU.. dont use cheap **** like WD40 .. grease bushings , and tighten everything.. if you have a loose part its probably not good to be drivin around on it.. and slow down over those bumps killer..

I don't believe its my struts that is causing the problem though.
