Default I have the same exact thing happening. I have had all uppers and lower CA's done with new Vogt.GT's

My spring is a little beat up to on the pass right side also. Guess I will check where the cut end of the spring is pointing also.
I found a small tear in what in the steering boot. I have also been getting a creaking noise when turning left.

So the left coil forward and the right coil backward?

Most of us having the similar issues have Vogtland GT's?

Default i don t think its your vogtlands, I have had the noise without (stockers), and just replaced all

4 control arms, and put in new vgtlnds yesterday, the CO's havent contributed any noise fwiw

i think the noise is being caused by somthing else..
like a "bing " noise right?

Default Well, I'm having my GT's taken off and my stock suspension put back on.

So if the noise miraculously goes away I guess we'll know what it was. I should know on Monday.

probably its more of a suspension related like top nut not tightened correctly.

Default Well, the noise was coming from the passenger's lower front control arm joint.

I'm beginning to wonder if the nut is just way over tightened. I may ask the mechanic to torque it to spec just to see if it makes a difference.
