    So while turning and going over a bump like pulling into a driveway something on the front of the car creaks. Sounds like the struts but don't know how ot could be them. They've only got a few thousand miles on them and mostly everything else is brand new on the front. All the mods are in my signature. I just hate driving around having a nice looking car that makes stupid noises.

    I'd say strut mount.

    New parts do go bad quickly sometimes.

    What part of the strut mount would I check to see if it's bad? iirc they are moog.

    Also i put them together myself. Could it be something like I didn't tighten the strut to the mount enough or something similar? I used anti pogo washers on all 4

    I had the same noise in front end with my Eibach/KYB AGX setup. This was after 4 years after the installation. I replaced the mounts and that solved the problem. I used Moog mounts also.

    Huh well that kinda sucks then. Not really looking forward to having to pull them and do all that work again. Maybe it'll wait until next spring. There will be no side effects of not changing them right away right?

    Shouldn't be, other than the front end sounding like sh*t, lol... I have the same issue when it gets cold out for some reason. Can't wait to replace the mounts and have a quiet front end again.
