I posted a solution for this problem about a month ago. The bolt that holds the Koni into the strut is probably loose. Tighten it

 

more than likely you didn't line up the strut housing properly.. so the spring is trying to reseat itself..

make sure that the part of the upper strut mount that says OUT is directly inline with the part that bolts up to the car..

 

i guess that could be it to.

 

so out would be like towards the tire????

 

yup... but if the strut housing is off.. its facing the thing that bolts on

 

so do i have to take it all apart to fix this...

 

yup... and you will have to get an alignment after...
