Did the sound just start since the struts were replaced? Were the strut plates replaced? Where the coils checked for cracks?

Let me know.

It was the same noise that i was hearing before i changed the struts, I just changed the strut mounting plate at the top of the struts and problem solved. The bushing in the old ones looked a little beat up.
Thanks though
