i just install my tokico blues and tein s tech's in my gen 4 camry and i'm hearing creaking noises when i go over bumps. it didn't make any of that noise on the first day i roll it out of my friend's garage, but it started the next day. my question is: is it normal? i had all the bolts tighten good, but i still feel insecure about it. any help would be great. thanks guys!

when u changed ur suspension, did u change the strut mount?

or did u check and see if it needed replacement.

gen4 has lots of problem with strut mount

try spraying all the links and bushings with a shot of wd-40 or the like. i do it every month or so in my 92 and it keeps it from squeeking.

Something not lubed?

i had it installed exactly a week ago. as for the strut mounts, i had to use stock. should i just wd40 it anyway? i just want to make sure i dont screw anything up.

Squeaking or clunking? Either way you may just have to live with it.
