Seriously - more suspension noise

[Scoob]

Thanks for all the help and suggestions over the last three days. That was a lot of stress and it was driving me nuts. I tightened both pretty tight tonight and all of the noises went away. All is right with the world.

If it were my car I would get everything gorilla tight that has less than 100ft/lbs rating. The rest i would get a 1/2" breaker and extra gorillabtight them. Like the 2 bolts connecting the strut to the spindle are rated at 180lb/ft if i recall.

Then i would give the top strut bolt a 1/2 second of impact at 3/4 to full beans. Just enough you see the shaft move but don't spin it like a dreidel.

But yea it sounds creaky. How low are you? Did you have this sound before you added camber? You used oem studs or what. Take a 1/2" breaker bar and tighten your lug nuts hard, more than the 89 lb/ft spec. When i put in my ARP studs i set my impact to the 200 lb/ft setting. I didnt wail on it but it takes some force to get them seated.

As a casual DIY I found most of my noises were user error and not bad parts.

Might I suggest a 3/4" drive socket set for your "light" tightening work ……
