Ground Control owners- noise issue

ok, so I just put on the GCs couple days ago and this is my second ground control install on a max but anyways, everything is good but when I corner hard, I get this knocking noise from the front end. Is this the noise that the spiral wraps fix?

I dont remember hearing what I heard when we got done with your install, all I remember hearing was that clunk in the back which we fixed and also the noise from the strut bearings.

the knocking noise from the front end is the CV joint
that mostly happens when the spring is on an angle (top hat or bearing not aligned)
i don't get any knocking of clunking...but i still get that friggen squeeky sound when i turn the wheel a lot and at slow speeds...which goes away as i make a few turns

dont think its my CVs or even realted to my axles. I have 2 newly rebuilt axles that are about 2 weeks old. also, I never had an issue with my strut bearings with my old setup and also Im super careful setting the car down, making shure of the seating of the bearings since I have to work on ground controls on others cars so I guess Ill just try the spiral wrap and see what happends.

I just put on the spiral wrap and I still have the noise. It sounds more of a rattle noise, almost like someone is knocking on my fender. dont think its my strut bearigns since I dont hear any spring noises except when I take wide corners at fast speeds. any help?
