Torque on Shocks and Struts...

Well here's a brief history....I have Tein SS with SPC Camber Kits....My Car has been squeaking since I got the SPC cambers put on (which was like 5 days after I installed my teins)....

Originally, my rear passenger side was squeaking....so I tightened up the tops of my Tein's on both sides as much as I could....My passenger side stopped squeaking, but the driver side started to squeak...

This weekend, I reinstalled my SPC rear driver camber kit and teins. I did not touch the passenger side. As soon as I pulled out of my driveway, I could hear that my passenger side was squeaking!! How the heck?

Does anyone know if your suspension or cambers have to be torqued identically? Thats the only thing I can think of...Any other ideas of what could cause fixing one side causing the other side to "break"...ug...

Matt

Lots of people are having problems with their teins squeaking. I think a cross brace solves the problem. But search around a bit to find more info.
