I sent out a message to this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...#ht_911wt_1165) seller on eBay to see if his kit has the same problem. This is what he said ...
"Hi,
All camber kit will squeak, to prevent the squeak sound you will
need to lubricate the camber kits with joint grease to prevent
the squeak sound. Thank you !"
I told him I have tried several lubricants and he responded with this....
"I see, well I had request all my customers use grease the camber kit and so far over 3 years and more than 500+ sets sold without any complaints about squeak sounds. Thank you !"
I really don't feel like spending another $200 to find out.

That sucks!, what are your camber numbers with out it? I just did alignment yesterday on the stock with my 19"s as you know and my rear is -1.2 left and -1.4 right. Specification is -1.8 to -0.8 degree. That should be for all CLK 03-09 coupe and conv inc AMG minus black series.

I'm not quite sure what my specs on on the camber. But remember. I'm running a 10" wide wheel. My guy said that after the adjustment that they were in spec. But if I don't run a camber adj. I will rub on the inside fender with a normal sized tire. I'm assuming that the joints needEd to be regreased cause the noise started afyer I got a wash and wax. I think he's gonna put some waterproof lube on to see if that help. I'm also going to try a silicone based lubricant that my company makes. Hopefully that will work longer than3hrs and should be more waterproof than the lube they give u or a wd40.
