Default creaking camber arms!?

So my 370Z had developed a loud creak sound about 3-4 weeks ago. Happens when getting in and out of the car and when going slow, 0-30 mph, and is from the rear. Finally got the car in the air to investigate today and it turns out it is the rear camber arms. The ball joint on both camber arms is causing the sound. How can I stop this?

what brand camber arms do you have? I think the white lithium grease usually takes care of this.

SPL or SPC...can't remember which at the moment. Actually I think the stuff I tried last night just needed to settle in. Today the car was quiet for the 1st time in over 3 weeks. I do have white lithium grease though, so if the noise comes back, I will try that next.

Did the SPL come out with a camber kit for the 370z? If so where can i purchase them?

I have heard from a friend of mine that installed SPCs on his 350z and heard that it was a ***** trying to take it off to install SPLs.

Bottom line is that, I was told to get SPL over SPCs. Is this true?
