Default suspension/steering noise?

anyways I have replaced the front suspension on my T5R about 2 months ago, before then I have a blown strut in the front, but after changing the entire front suspension, everytime i turn the steering wheel I hear like crackle noise, and im thinking it could be the sway bars but im not sure. I might make a clip of the sound when I get the chance.

Could you elaborate on "entire strut replacement"? I hope you've replaced the notorious upper spring seats. Do you hear noise when you go over bumps? Other than that, check...

- PWS fluid level.
- Ball joint.
- Sway bar links.
- CV joints, outer & inner (usually the outer)
- Tie-rod ends.

Wait for other members' opinions as well; they're really good.

I replaced the following Left/Right:
-C.Arms
-Outer Tie rods
-Front Struts
-Strut Mounts
-Spring Seats
-Sway Bar links

And no i dont hear noises over bumps. Only when turning the steering wheel you hear the creeking sound n when I accel n deccel you hear a knocking sound.

i think it could be my springs, simple fact that when i told my brother to turn the steering wheel i see the springs kind'of hesitates to move the the struts. But for the acceleration n deccel part is still a mystery
