New Kinetix Front Camber Arm Noises!! Any clues?

Hey guys, I've recently installed my NEW front camber with Kinetix A arms on my G35s. After installation and everything I drove the car and I noticed right away that there are some type of weird grinding noises are coming from the front strut areas. You really notice the sounds when driving slowly and going over bumps. But when you drive faster on the roads you can hardly hear anything.

Also I noticed that the noises are much louder when the outside temperatures are low but when it gets hot outside the noises almost all go away.

So I jacked the car back again and checked everything and couldn't find anything that would make sounds. So I loosened the two A arm bolts at the back, put the pressure on suspension and tightened them back up just how you're suppose to. Did that just in-case if that was the case... But it wasn't the case

So Im clueless WTH!!!!!!??????

Any help guys????

Front strut bar bushings sometimes make a noise similar to what you are describing when they need lubrication.

Hmmm that might be it, but why would this noise appear right after I installed my front camber arms??
I did have to drop my suspension down front top to get to A-Arm bolts.

That may not be it. However I always start with the easy things and work toward the more difficult. $5 for a tube of grease and 5 minutes is all it takes to find out.

I'm just guessing blind by a description of a noise over the internet. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
