Just had the Stillen Front Camber arms installed last Wednesday. They've had a hellacious creak/pop from the get-go. You can feel it through the steering wheel and brake pedal. Took it back into shop and they lubed everything again -- creak is still there.

I've had 19" PIAA Super Rozza's for 4 months and Nismo sways, 350Z Tein H-techs for about 1.5 yrs. Never heard the creak before the camber arms (just the fronts, didn't put any on the back). Sounds like a '78 Monte Carlo with a blown suspension!!! Noticable when you are turning at low speeds (like in a parking lot), then happens at all speeds and pulling off the line when they get good and really hot.

Any ideas? Anybody heard this before? Are the bushings shot? Is it so far out of camber that it is torquing some part of the suspension? I haven't gotten it aligned yet, waiting to fix the creaking first.

Any help would be greatly appreciated before I just go back and put the stock camber arms back on.

 

the bushings i believe are urethane
they naturally make more noise than rubber...
did it still creak right after they greased it up
or did it go away and then came back?

 

Thanks for the help. This is way beyond the natural squeek from urethane bushings. No, it didn't diminish once we re-lube'd everything. It's weird, when the car is cold (as cold as it can get in 100+ weather) it's fine. Once it gets warmed up though or sits after a hard run it creaks like mad. Gonna take it back in today and if the shop can't figure it out I'm just going to put the stocks back on and may try Cusco or SPC later.

Heading out to LA tomorrow for business. May just load the Stillens in my luggage (since I have to check everything anyway) and return them, or at least get their input.

Thanks again for the help. Any other input would be greatly appreciated.
