suspension troubles.

i'm not sure what the exact problem is. there's a creaking noise coming from my front right shock/spring. one mechanic told me it was my alignment, so i get it adjusted again. then the people who did my alignment said my camber was off. anyone know, or have had this problem?

btw, springs/shocks are tokico blues with tein s-techs.

Didn't the alignment fix the camber?

I had that same set up. The HP blue's can't handle that stech drop. I had creaking noise so I replaced with tokico illuminas. I don't think the re-allignment will fix the problem. Who knows; Try another allignment shop. Good luck fixing it.

could be a blown strut, a bad strut bearing, dust shield rubbing the rotor, etc...
