The strut rods are brand new. I took them off tonight inspected everything reinstalled them making god damn sure they were installed properly. Messed with the pivit angle several times and still have the same issue..Sooo I am out of ideas here.
You said it sounded like squeaking. You're 100% certain the lca pivots were tightened at ride height and not in the air?
I have the qa1, not the pst, so theres a difference in how it attaches at the lca for me. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
Might also be worth tightening the rods a little more (I'd probably start with 2 turns) to pull on the lca temporarily and see if the sound changes. If it doesn't change at all, I'd start looking at other parts. Sway bar bushings, etc.
