I put some grease on the camber and it work fine for few hrs or day then started to squeak again. I have it before when i have Gc but it not noticable when i put grease before the sound run away for year it on and off something but it not very noticable then right now. it is possible because my tein is new and camber it just adjust soo.. it take time to sattle down? camber just adjust it yesterday and tein been in my car for 3 weeks
I have the Ingalls camber kit too. I lowered my car and the next week or so I installed the camber kit for the rear. It wasn't squeaking before I put the camber kit in but now it is. If you read about the polyurethane camber kit from Ingalls they say...
38950 Polyurethane bushings are designed for a performance like ride. Polyurethane may squeak if not properly lubricated. You should use a lubricate will not wash away. Once the lubricate is washed out or contaminated from road grime the lubricate will no longer be effective. You will need to re-lubricate.
My guess is use lithium or wheel bearing grease.

i haven't lubed it yet... i was saying i need to. My guess is try and pack it in like if you were packing bearings. Then work it in by swinging the arm up and down. Do you know how to do that?

I packed mine with antisieze and lithium grease, they haven't made a peep in 7 months. Slobbering it on the surface won't do it, you need to get it into the bushing.

You can do it while its still in there. Go to the hardware store, buy a barbeque basting syringe (looks like a huge drug needle, might also be able to find a wallpaper glue syringe, same effect). Get a basketball pump needle, put the 2 together, pack the syringe with some grease, or get a grease tube with a needle point applicator (hobby store). The inner diameter of the bushing should be grooved, go into each one of the grooves, squirt some grease. It can be done while its in the car.
