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 ?
