I don't think I can wait until WL ships me new ones. I may drive back to the shop and swap my stock top mounts back on.
Are you sure you tightened the bolts with the allen key enough? When I was doing the install, I hadn't noticed the allen keys and had just tightened it with a normal bolt until I couldn't tighten it anymore. The result was that the struts had give to them with only applying like 20lbs of force. When that happened, I creaked over any uneven surfaces, even on straight roads. Once I tightened them with the allen key + boxwrench combination those creaks went away (of course I took everything back apart before realizing I could have tightened just by removing the dust caps as it was already installed :P)
