I just installed Tien S-Techs, Bilsteins, and ST Swaybars. Whenever I turn the wheel I get popping sounds and smell burning rubber in the right wheelwell. From what I've read the popping is from the springs not being perfectly set, but why the burning smell?

I've seen strut mounts that don't even have arrows that face out. You can't even tell a difference by looking at it what position it should be in. Even if that does matter, its all trial and error by marking them.
