Camber Arms

[phenline]

Just wondering if it is normal for new camber arms to squeak for week or more? I have new ones in the front of my gtr and the right side one is like not squeaking anymore but the left side still is... any ideas? can i like wd-40 it or something?

cheers

no suggestions?

Should they squeak. No.

Will WD40 help? Maybe a bit in the short term. Try some proper grease & also do the sway bar bushes as they often carry on too.

let me guess. they are the chinese dog bone shape ones (midori copies)? if so, then get used to it! they don't have any grease nipples so you can really add any grease to them easily. and they use a sealed bearing. 2 at each end of the arm. and the bearings are very narrow. like maybe 15 or 20mm wide each. not much surface area for all that load.

ok, well i was under the impression that they needed wearing in abit or something. But i shall give the grease a shot!

not to sure on the make baron (i never put them in), i will have a look tonight are there any markings or anything that will let me know?

if they are silver and shaped like a dogbone then they are either genuine midori ones or one of the many different brands of chinese copy. if they are then most likely they don't have grease nipples which is a bit of a bummer.
