Not happy with the viberation

Not too long ago i got a front strut bar and ever since having it installed i think i been having front suspension problems.
like
When i hit lite pot holes i hear a sqeaking noise from the front only.(Both sides).

And i have notice a funny viberation in the steering wheel. I can even feel it when the car is in park, all i have to do is move the steering wheel from left to right (IM ONLY TALKING INCHES, SIDE TO SIDE )The viberation is very annoying and i hope that this is something that is broken and not something that came with the car when built.

What could this be, or is this just nissan.

To what torque specs did you tighten the bolts?

How far away is the bar from your intake manifold?

you should probably add which FSTB you installed.

i bet "i didn't torque them why?" I also think it may be close to your IM

Im not sure how much torque i did, but i did put them tight.

And the strut bar clears the maniffold with about an inch
