Hey Guys I just installed kybs and tein lowering springs and all I`m getting is alot of creeking from the springs rubbing together near the bottom. I could see the wear where it is rubbing. I only hear the noise in slow speeds and going over bumps I could hear the springs rubbing and hitting itself. What can I do to fix this? The bump stops are at the top of the spring and cannot be moved adleast I don`t think. Give me some help guys I do not know what could do to fix it....maybe buy vinyl and melt it on to spring to stop or reduce the noise? I tried researching this and haven`t really found any solutions. Thanks guys

as already mentioned, this is your problem. this arrow needs to be pointing outwards.
 if you remove your front wheel, you'll notice the top plate is wedged against the strut tower. so when you're turning the steering wheel, the strut turns but the spring doesn't which is causing the creaking noises.
