Dinan Springs Just Installed - Creaking/Squeaking

Just had my dinan springs put on this past Saturday along with the supp handling kit. Drove it a good 100 miles so far and still getting a good bit of creaking sounds when turning the wheel....question is how much creaking noise is normal and how long should it last?

Set to get wheel alignment this upcoming Saturday.

Were springs installed by Dinan certified installer?

I have installed many Dinan kits and have not have the sound you are describing. Maybe something is positioned in a way that the noise is being created ? I would recommend getting it looked at again to see exactly where the noise is coming from.

Check the bearing in the upper mount. The plastic bearing doesn't hold up very well to load and debris from the road.

Turned out to be the guard tube that was left out during the install since they came with new dust tubes. MAKE SURE THE SHOP PUTS THE STOCK GUARD TUBE BACK ON WHEN THEY DO THE INSTALL! The spring was not perching correctly without it thus causing it to "shift", squeak, and creak about when turning.
