I think the people at the car wash messed up my car!

So maybe I am being a little paranoid, but I deserve the right to be on this one!

Here is the problem, I installed my K sports two nights ago, drove them around and listened for any noises that sound out of the ordinary, and there weren't any. Yesterday woke up and took the car to the wash and specifically told them just do the interior because I think the car is too low to use the auto wash. So what do they do! Drive it through the damn wash!
Now whenever I turn my steering wheel hard (when parking) I hear this weird spring noise. Its not a pop, but more of a creaking (Like an old screen door spring)

PLEASE HELP! Anyone who has a coilover suspension and has had this problem before!!

it could be one of the bushings on the control arm.... but for now... you might just want the car to settle on the new set-up... i jus might be wearing in because of the set-up change

Yeah thats what I am thinking, Like maybe when they slid it over the rail on the wash track it might have jostled alittle, or maybe the grease came off when theyu powerwashed the rims. I dont really know, but it seems to be driving the same, I think I am going to take it to a local tune shop and have them take a look.
