squeaky aftermarket camber arms

When I lowered my 300e i ordered a set of the "benz boy" camber arms to aid the excessive negative camber in the rear end. They worked fine for a while but now they are starting to squeak and/or creak like crazy over any bump or imperfection in the road. And it definitely makes the car look ghetto when asound like that is coming out of it. I've tried greasing the ball joints but it hasn't helped. Anyone with similar issues and perhaps fixes?

did you buy his teflon versions, or the regular ones?

I have the teflon ones but I haven't gotten around to installing them... so hopefully I don't suffer the same fate!!

You won't have this issue with the teflon ones.

Mine are still quiet since day one.

Lower control arm bushings could also be the culprit, its very hard to isolate these squeeks.

Also the lower control arm bolts get rusty and that can cause squeaking too
