suspension question

[speedminded]

I just installed some oem struts on my max because my last set of struts were blown, but since I've put them on, there is a popping sound coming from the front of my car. And when I turn the steering wheel, it feels like something is rubbing against each other then it makes the popping noise. I've installed struts and springs before on my max and I never had this problem, so I don't know what happened this time around...Today i jacked up my car and had my friend turn my steering wheel while I looked for what could be the problem and making the noise, I pinpointed it down to the top of the driver's side strut tower, but I didn't see anything wrong with how it was installed, or anything rubbing/popping. Any advice is welcome, thanks a lot my fellow tuners...

I assume the nuts on top are tight?

LOL yes, of course, everything is tight..but I'm going to tear apart my suspension on my next day off and find the problem...what a pain in the ass...
