No more gap but.........................>

I installed my sprint springs today, and the drop was awsome. I really noticed the drop in the front, the rear was a little lower than stock but it's cool. One problem, is that when I'm turning lock to lock there are noises coming from the front right. Is that normal? What could be wrong? I checked everything, and everything seems fine. Can you guys help me on this one?

if its a creeking noise, then your strut bearings need to be lubed

I did wrap them, and it's not that. What I found is that there are little plastic, spacer or bearing that were worn out. I think that they may be cuasing the creaking sound.

Yep, those are the strut bearings. if you get new ones, make shure they are lubed. the reason they make that creek noise is becase when you turn the wheel, the strut has to rotate with it and if they are not lubed they will bind up and cause the spring to twist, making that noise.

Do you guys know the part number for these plastic bearings? So I can go ahead and get them at the dealer.

Thanks
