Car is dropped with TRD springs and shocks. It only occurs when I turn the wheel to the right all the way. You can hear it creak when you almost reach the max of the wheel cut, and then a squeaking noise when I cut the wheel back. Normal driving is fine - none of the clunking others have had and it does not make the noise when I cut to the left. It's most noticeable when cutting the wheel on flat ground or in low speed parking lot maneuvers.

When I had the shocks/springs installed it made a similar noise, but nowhere near as bad. The guy that installed them told me that it was the spring settling in to the rubber "hat" on the perch and was nothing to worry about. Now fast forward about three weeks and 650-700 miles or so and it is back much worse.

I saw in some other posts that the strut bolt had come loose for some people, but it was tight when I checked it. The three bolts that hold it to the car were all tight, as were the bolts on my strut bar. I sprayed some lubricant on to the strut mount and it went away, especially the squeaking part, but the creak is still there, albeit much quieter.

I am assuming that the spring needs to be re-seated then? I am assuming I need to disassemble and reassemble the whole strut/spring?

Anything else it could be?

Am I going to mess anything else up driving like this?

 

I'd bring it back to where you had it installed. It took me and a friend several times to reseat it before we got it on nicely. Those things really are picky. I don't know if your going to mess anything up, but i'd definitely take it back to the place if they did shabby work
