New Kinetix Front Camber Arm Noises!! Any clues?

Hey guys, I've recently installed my NEW front camber with Kinetix A arms on my G35s. After installation and everything I drove the car and I noticed right away that there are some type of weird grinding noises are coming from the front strut areas. You really notice the sounds when driving slowly and going over bumps. But when you drive faster on the roads you can hardly hear anything.

Also I noticed that the noises are much louder when the outside temperatures are low but when it gets hot outside the noises almost all go away.

So I jacked the car back again and checked everything and couldn't find anything that would make sounds. So I loosened the two A arm bolts at the back, put the pressure on suspension and tightened them back up just how you're suppose to. Did that just in-case if that was the case... But it wasn't the case

So Im clueless WTH!!!!!!??????

Any help guys????

I have the Eibach's so can't comment directly about this. However, when you put it back on the lift, did you notice any areas that looks like they recently scrubbed against each other?

Could it be the bushings? Granted, those usually make more of a squeak than a grind sound.

when i had the car on the jacks and was re-tightening the A-arm bolts I didn't notice any areas where they rubbed. I have no idea what might be causing that grinding sound. My guess would be it's the bushing area, rubbing against the metal A-arm bracket where those long bolts go through. but how???? hmmmmm

Am I the only one who has this problem??? Has to be more G owners out there with Kinetix camber arms.
