Goodhead you need to take your front struts apart and make sure there installed properly. New bearings are available at your dealer for about $30 each. Replace them if they are damaged. Also make note that the word OUT on the upper spring perch is lined up with the lower strut mount flange. It's very important that the assembly lines up correctly.
