These struts are extremely sensitive to being spun. If you had looked at any of the DIY spring/strut install threads on this forum, you'd have known from the beginning that many users have reported using an impact gun on the strut top nut has caused their strut to make noise, leak, and ultimately need to be replaced.

You can start diagnosing by tightening the strut top nut the correct way, but if it's still making noise, look for tell tale signs of blown struts - hydraulic fluid leaking, struts compressible by hand, etc.
