I replaced my OEM strut with a new one. It still makes noise after like a month

I'm doing H-Tech's on Blues soon so i don't really care.

Illumina strut install

I did my Hp blues shock swap out with the Illumina adjustables Saturday. Front only with Eibach Pro kit. Old springs. To my suprise car sits up almost 1" higher. I drove for about 50 miles so far and got allignment done yesterday and it is still about 3/4" higher than with Hp blues. I did notice when installing struts that the Illuminas are alot harder to push down then the HP blues. Definatly got a better ride set on 3. If any one can answer this question . Since cutting bump stops. Won't dirt,water damage struts since dust boots are now open at top from cutting bumps stops?

i did the wheel alignment as well right away when i installed the struts but this noise is annoying when you hit a pot the shocks and springs are solid rock tthey look steady when i push down the car it doesnt make noise just when i drive and hit small pot holes it does only the front i am clueless

I think you should give it a couple more days. If it won't stop take it to the shop that did the work for you. They should not charge you for that.
