the camber kit bushing was probably tightened before the car was on the ground. I had the same problem. you need lo loosen the bushing, lower the car, then tighten it really good. it's the bolt that attaches the camber kit to the rear drum.

orso is an unknown quantity at this point
mine does that too. i have the ingalls kit. i think the big reason it squeaks is that the bolt is moving up and down in the hole. if you look at the stock piece you will notice that the nut is welded to the arm, and the other kits come with the nuts seperate. i have tought about trying to weld the nut the arm. should do the trick.

not really... the reason it squeaks is because the bushing is polyurethane (makes for a stiffer ride) and needs to be constantly lubricated, get some all-weather lubricant that won't wash off and slap it on there...
the stock arm has a rubber bushing which is not as stiff but does not ever need to be lubricated...

I thought that the Ingalls come with the rubber bushings instead of urethane. Is this true?
