Suspension squeakin

Okay, so it been like months since my rear suspension started squeaking after I installed the j power camber arm kit. I doubt it's my coilovers because it never squeak until the camber arm was installed. I didn't lube any of the bushings when I put it on. Yeah I know stupid me. So tomorrow I think ima get some lube and put some on. When I push down against my trunk, I can hear a bit of squeak in my suspension area. My front squeaks a bit too but not as bad as my rear and I can hear it by pushing down against my fender too. I just want some suggestions so I can get heads up for tomorrow when I work on it. I'm tired of turning music up to avoid that squeaky noise . -___-

Also I have Megans ez coilovers and only like 10k miles on em.

*the squeaks in the rear mainly happens when I go down my driveways, speed bumps, uneven road when driving off slowly.

Exact same thing happened to me with my megans. I spent hours and hours greasing suspension parts and taking things apart.

It ended up being the piston of the coilovers when it would move up and down. It would only happen when going really slowly it would creak over uneven road. So peel back the boot and lube up the shaft!

IMO.........



to avoid squeaks the suspension MUST BE TIGHTENED to torque with a load on it. best case is wheels on the ground.
not saying you did this but if yu did..............
