pop? Im assuming that your strut bearings need to be lubed or replaced.

Give it a couple of weeks >>

When the AGX and H&Rs were installed, there was a slight popping/knocking noise from the front end when steering, but it has since gone away.

Something isn't right with the install of the OE springs. They should be silent!

As I mentioned before, make sure the word OUT faces out on the upper spring perch. If it's not correct, your spring will not be seated correctly.

Also the OEM springs have a top and bottom, are yours in upside down?
I believe there are 3 painted dots. They should be positioned like a triangle. The single dot above the 2 dots. If the 2 dots are above the 1 dot, your springs are upside down.
