squeaking noises after fitting whiteline roll centre adj kit

just fitted the roll centre adj and bumpsteer kits on my car. at slow speeds, i could hear squeaking noises as the car bounces and during steering. anyone experience this? took it down to my workshop and was told nothing's wrongly fitted.

nevertheless, am really happy at how the car's handling has been transformed for the better. it's jus this squeaking noises which irritates you unless you crank up your radio.

Were all the poly bushing heavily greased before installation? If you did not it would cause some squeaking.

spoke to a couple of local boys who had the whiteline roll centre adj kit and none of them recalled having to grease the kits and did not have any squeaking noises

anyone else with the whiteline kits suffered squeaking noises or greased their kits when fitting up?

I've got a friend with the delrin bushings on the rear trailing arms and it causes lots o' squeaking due to a lack of grease.

I would imagine that any bushing would benefit from a nice grease-up. After all...stuff's moving around in there.

Is it possible to hear the sound when the car isn't moving, perhaps just turning the wheel or compressing the vehicle?
