H-Tech and Blues Noise

I had H-techs and Blues installed and the front ones are making noise. The mechanic told me to wait alittle to see if it settles. Has anyone had this problem?

what kind of noise? I have some squeaking up front when I drive over bumps, dips, driveways, uneven roads...but I think it is from the ES control arm bushings.

Depends. Did they wrap the springs and replace the worn out dust boots? If not, your noise could be coming from the springs rubbing together where they compress, or from crud getting into your new struts.

It makes a griding, clicking noise when I turn the wheel.
