I recently had a friend of mine replace the factory struts in my '03 Civic Si Hatch due to one side leaking badly. We replaced them with Monroe Sensatracs, and we replaced the mounts with the corresponding Monroe mount. The installation went well and then we gave it the test drive. It made some noises and we decided that it was just the new parts settling in.
Two weeks later the noises are still there. One is coming from the mounts/mount area (both sides) and you only hear it when you are turning the wheel. It's a deep clicking sound that will continuously click as long as you are actually turning the wheel (but stops when holding the wheel in a turn).
The other sound you only hear when hitting a decent sized bump in the road (only on the left side). It's a quick high-pitched squeek, almost the same sound as squeeky brakes.
Neither of these sounds were present before the installation of the new struts.
Any advice on troubleshooting this?
