I just replaced my struts and springs on the car.
Everything went well, but now a few weeks after driving the car, the front left is making a creaking/popping noise when turning the wheel. Any idea why it would be doing that? Did I align the top strut mount in the wrong position, or could it be cause by the top nut coming loose ? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

looks like mine, make sure if these are lowering springs to cut some of the bump stop off so you will have more room between your springs so its not compressed
