Default Installed springs, now I have this strut noise!

I tried searching for this, but I can't seem to come across what I'm looking for. I just recently swapped out my springs to the Tein S-Tech's, and when I'm turning at low speeds, this loud squeak is coming from the strut area in the front right, and if I'm in reverse, sometimes in the rear right.

I have no idea what it is, but I really want to get it fixed. Anybody have any ideas??

Doesn't sound like they are seated properly. Either you didn't get the springs lined up properly in the perches, or don't have the top hats torqued properly.

Make sure the ABS/Brake lines are connected to the Strut correctly...and check the front Endlinks too.

Double check all the nut to see if any are still loose.

Sounds like you forgot to put the springs on, check that immediately!

I'm going with not seated properly. That, and they are new and are probably just getting settled. I know mine made some noises right after install and went away shortly. jack up the car, take the wheel off and make sure they are seated on the notch on the strut perch.
