I'd also suggest you check the 3 bolts/nuts on your struts where they connect to the body, inside the engine bay. When you changed out your springs and re-installed your struts, did you Loctite the 3 nuts that secure the top of the strut in the engine bay.


When your car is sitting still the strut will appear fine but hit a bump and literally your strut will be popping/slamming into the strut tower mount/body.


This may or may not be the problem.


But if the nuts are loose, secure them with blue Loctite.


Another side note I believe the nuts that secure the strut to the body/tower should be only tightened to around 20ft/lbs. I happen to know for a fact thatif you decide to tighten them a little tighter to say 30ft/lbs, you will shearer the bolt on the top plate of your strut.


I hope this helps.
