Are you sure the upper strut bushings are properly clocked (unless your new ones are different the bushing plate has a key that is supposed to be aligned during assembly of the strut). That not being assembled correctly could cause a noise. Beyond that good luck looking for what is loose or what is hitting what, these kind of things can indeed be annoying. Looks for simple things first, then teardown and reinstall very carefully making sure eeverything is 100% correct...still got noise look some more:/

Could be your bump stop. When you install Goldline springs you have to trim the bump stop. Check with the dealership and see what they say.

I have Goldlines. They had no instructions with them. Later I found that you are supposed to cut 1" from the bump stopo. I have NOT cut it and I have no funny noises.../shrug.

Also double check the tightness of the main (center) nut on top of the strut. They are known for not tightening up the first time around.
