    Does the squeek/qreek happen if you are stopped and steer left and or right?

    I have/had the same issue with mine only when I turn the steering wheel a few times while stopped, I was told my Camburg to go take them offroad and apply Tri-Flow with PTFE in it afterwards. I still get sqeeking and qreeking but not nearly as much. I have recently been told that this is a usual complaint using the Camburgs.

    i have the same problem from time to time with my tc uca's. when it gets wet it stops. it is the bushings rubbing up against the washers. i stopped mine by getting some triflow (the same stuff you use on the uniball), and applying it at both sides of the grey uca arm, where it meets the washers (in 4 points). apply at the top of the crack and let it run down. soak it some, after a day or 2 of driving, it will work its way down and the squeak will go away. it is a easy fix. i bought new bushings for mine and was going to replace them. i was like, hold on, if it stops when wet then
    the triflow should take care of it. i have about 50,000 on my ucas.

    same thing with the TC UCA's. goes away when its raining, then comes right back. I was told it was the uniball so I've been using dry lube on it, but literally works for 24 hours or less before the squeak comes back (if it was gone at all). Could be the bushings, i didn't try to lube those so ill try that now.....

    Ive read that you're not supposed to use wet lube/grease on them. Any input on that would be great
