Exclamation Rear right wheel noise???

Well i am dropped on tein ss and i have a rear spc camber kit.......(been on about 2 months)..........all of a sudden i hear this wierd skweeking noise that's coming from my rear right tire.....it does it when i push the car up and down and from side to side!!!!!!!!!

Guys what can it be...... suspension doesn't seem to leak ...i am maybe thinking that it's possibly the camber kit

If you guys know what it is can you please tell me how to fix it

i'd raise her up and check to make sure everything is torqued to spec

it could be the inner hinge (not sure of proper name) of your camber kit... or it could be the upper mount gasket of your coilover. i've seen those things get torn and then you have metal-to-metal contact which can be squeaky.

a quick fix would of course be WD-40, but that is never good in the long run... once you find the culpret, i'd find a heavier, lithium-based lube to slap in there.

WD40 is the devil. The only use for it on a car is rusted bolts.

Grease, preferably a waterproof variety is always the best solution. If it makes noise up and down and your camber kit has poly bushings, thats most likely the issue. The left and right squeak is a little more tricky to diagnose. Do you have an upgraded sway bar? Is it hitting your exhaust? Do your exhaust hangar posts have excessive rust on them, causing the hangar to squeak on them if they wiggle? I'd also look into seeing if the coilover perches are locked tight and the spring isn't loose. From there, make sure the top mount isn't coming loose.

My top mount came loose on all four corners..... the guy who put them on before I bought the car didn't use locking nuts

well i put some white grease and the noise is still there.....so i opened my trunk and the noise seems like it's coming from the top part of the strut but it doesn't look loose.... i brought it to the shop ........ the guy says it might be some bushings making noise... wth i am so fed up of this piece of junk just last week they had to change the bearings in the tranny!!!! The car only as 80 000 km on it !!!

GUYS THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS IT COULD BE POST IT UP
I AM SCARED THAT MY SHOCKS WILL BREAK OR SOMETHING WILL LET GO ON THE CAR
