Squeeking noise in rear strut

My car just now started making this weird squeaking noise in the rear left strut.. Not sure what is causing it.. Any ideas?

Re: Squeeking noise in rear strut

try spraying penetrating oil on ur camber kit, hte inner bushing, see if it dissipates, if it does, its typical, bushings squeak on camber kits regularly, drives me nuts

Re: Squeeking noise in rear strut

could it just be your shocks being worn?
my coilovers makes a little noise whenever I go slowly over speed bumps.
Tein says this is normal.

Re: Squeeking noise in rear strut

yes creeking - i know for a fact its my coilovers/shock because i just recently put my OEM ones back and they made a bunch of noise and my newly overhauled coilover shocks are a lot more quiet

Re: Squeeking noise in rear strut

well i dont think my noise is in the lower control arms because i get the same noise in the front whenever i go over speed bumps. I forgot to mentionthat sometimes when I spray a little white grease onto my coilovers it stops making that noise. It could just be the springs rubbing against the shocks somehow - but this could not be your problem...
