What Would Be Considered Normal Noise

Hello everyone. A couple weeks ago I had Tokico Blues and H&R Sport Springs installed and I am quite happy with them except over mild bumps (i.e. parking lot speed bumps, etc.). Not in terms of ride quality just the noise I hear when the front wheels first strike the bumps. I seem to only hear it when going fairly slow. Is this considered normal or could there be something wrong?

Did you replace or reuse the plastic factory strut mount bushing on the front struts?
These are a item that has been known to fail and they are also a one time use item that should be replaced onced removed during the strut or spring change. I used the J&M caster/camber plates to avoid this and I can reuse them as much as I want. You might at least replace with OEM bushing as suggested by Ford.

I failed to mention that I did indeed also install MRT adjustable camber plates. What bushing are you referring to?
