Please Help With My Gc's!!

I had my friend install my GC's and now they are making these springy sounds up front like my dam spring is going to fly off. Now I did a search and came up with nothing. The guy who did the install does mainly honda stuff, so maybe he left something out. Does anyone have instructions on how to install the gc's. I dont have them cause i bought them used off the org and they didnt come with them. Please help

Thanks
Brandon

my springs on my old accord did that, it stopped after a while when the springs had a chance to settle in, wait a few days and see what happens.

Check and see if the little grey washer with the raised rib is centered and settled into the upper strut mount. If it is not the when you turn the wheel the whole spring/strut assymbly will move and make noises.

Matt is the piece you are talking about grey with a black bottom gasket thing with a ribbed center, if so they were never put back on. Could this be why I am hearing those noises. What do the strut bearings look like

that is exactly why you are hearing those noises. those are the bearings, and you need to take everything apart and reinstall them. unless you like those sounds you're hearing.
