Noise w/Kinetix Front Camber A-arms

Just installed the Kinetix Front Camber A-Arms and they are squeaking when going over bumps at slow speeds (< 25mph). Anyone have any solutions for this? Types of grease(brand)? Thanks.

Alignment tomorrow. Just looking at how they were designed, adjustment isn't easy (for a big change, you would have to unbolt part of the arm). My installer set them so that alignment could be set back to nominal w/out having to take out or unbolt the A-Arm.

Response from Kinetix:

You can liberally grease the bushings and the aluminum sleeve that runs through the bushings. Also check for clearance between the ball joint and the plastic liner at the top of the wheel well. The ball joint changes positions as the wheel is turned so look for clearance in the entire area.

Also it is very likely the squeeking will go away shortly when they break in.
