Improved things but the kids had about a 90 mile drive yesterday and this morning the noise is back. I will chamfer the pad edges a bit more next. Anyone have some suggestions what else to try?

I am tired of fighting the rear alignment, it refuses to adjust camber to less than 2.3. Toe is zeroed out pretty well but the winter tires are showing more wear on the inner shoulders than I like, not terrible but not perfect either. I want camber to be about 1 degree. The alignment guys recommended adjustable bushings for the inner lower arm but I haven't found any that I like. So, instead ordered adjustable upper control arms from Silver Project. It will take a week or two, I guess, before they arrive. Not sure about the poly bushings but I guess it will improve wheel control. Let's see how that goes....
