Default problem with suspention

i had trd springs put on at the dealer. about a month later i heard a little noise when i turned to the right, then progressed when i hit bumps. i took it backto the dealer, they had it for a few days, they said it was a few bolts not torqued enough. they re-torued them, now it makes a soft noise, should i take it back. the noise is annoying.

I would check to see if they wrapped the fron springs with the black tape to keep them quiet

It's amazing how incompetent some dealers are when it come to things like this. You weren't rally surprised were you. ha ha. Hope they get it fixed right for you.
They prolly didn't tighten the top nut on the struts enough when the springs were first installed. This caused the strut bearings/mounts to get F'up. Should be an easy fix with the right parts.

Typical overkill. I thought these techs were trained to diagnose problems. Not just throw new parts at it and hope it cures the problems.
