Question problem with springs?

well first off im new to the board although i did sign up a while back..anywho had i seen the DIY on installing Springs/struts/etc it probably would have made installing my springs soooo much easier...anywho my question: Has anybody had any issues after installing them? We installed everything correctly, atleast we think, everything is nice and tight and all set in place, but everytime I'm turning slowly (like to pull into a parking space) there is a noise that seems to coming from the springs. We double checked everything and still it keeps making it. any ideas?

If it is a boing or popping then you did not index correctly. If it is metal scrapping then you need to put coil wrap around the dead coils.

If you used stock shocks, then you have to make sure the arrow on the mount matches with the one on the shock. There is a link about indexing in the FAQ thread.
