FSTB install

Hey guys,
I installed my Strut bar a few days back, which I purchased off of ebay. Anywyas, point being - the thing is amazing. I never felt soo secure taking turns especially with my 'floaty' GLE suspension, and the steering wheel has stiffened up tremendously. My only concern is now that Im starting to hear 'creaking'/clanging noises coming from the front; which seems to be my suspension randomly (like driving on the highway, or taking some turns). initially, when I installed the bar, I had set the torque at 45, do I need to increase it? or is something else wrong...

Thanks again in advance..

later.

I had the same problem with the ebay strut bar. It would hit the throttle body. Quickly got rid of that strut bar.

I think the torque should be set to 32-35
