Car = Squeek Squeek... Help!

My car sounds like a rust bucket currently. I was previously able to isolate the noise to my camber kit, which is in the rear. Now, both the rear and the front is squeeking. I'm dropped on original comptechs. I'm still running on stock shocks. I've tried spraying WD-40 at some locations and that didn't solve the problem.

Anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps a recommendation on something stronger than WD-40? I think WD-40 alleviates some of the noise but it doesn't last too long. Suggestion would be appreciated.

Sounds like teh coils are rubbing together. Did your springs come with a rubber cover over the lowere part of the coils?

I had a similar problem in my 94 Integra.....It was the Ingalls camber kit up front.....

basically, i needed to lube the kit up w/ white lithium grease (a thicker/longer lasting alternative to wd40).....unfortunately, it's starting to squeek again, so I may just take that crappy camber kit off and go with a better setup

Do you have any aftermarket sway bar? Most of my noises came from worn out rear sway bar bushings.
