Yes. More info is needed to help identify the cause. It could be the springs, the top nut on the strut not fully torqued, the strut top mounts, etc.

Did you use new front strut top mounts when you installed the v3s? If not, what was the mileage on your stock suspension at the time of the swap?

Two fairly common causes are:

1. There’s play between the strut top central nut and top mount. This makes noise when the suspension is moving down and up (switching between compression and rebound).

2. The bearing in the strut top mount is damaged or failed. This can make noise when the suspension is moving down/up and, especially, when turning the steering wheel lock-to-lock.
