Comptech Springs Squeaking and Creaking

FritozSI · 07-02-2007, 01:13 PM

Hey guys,
I just got my Comptech springs and front and rear camber kits installed last week. The day after it got installed the rear wheels creak and the front drivers side wheel squeaks. The creaking is worst when I am in reverse, however it does it while going over bumps, and I have not been able to connect the squeaking to anything, as it does it sometimes over bumps and other times with no bumps. It is quite annoying.

I have not had the car aligned yet, I was planning on doing it this week, however, I was thinking of taking it back to the shop beforehand to check out what all the noises were from.

Anyone have any experience with this? Any ideas? Thanks guys any suggestions would be helpful.

What type of camber kit did you install.

SPC rear control arms and front bolts

I called SPC, it turns out it is the control arms that are faulty so we have to wait for SPC to send me replacement arms, the bushings were bad on it. Go figure. Getting springs done is taking an entire week now! Arg!

still don't know whats wrong with car. The creaking has gotten worse. It even happens when the car is stationary and I just turn the wheel side to side.
