I had Koni STR.T oranges installed mid-february, I've recently started having an ear-piercing squeak from the front, more-so the drivers' side. I don't notice any noise on steering wheel rotation. Noise is specific to bumps in the road, regardless of speed and even more so with speed bumps. The video i posted shows the noise on recoil. Any opinions?

Are you on the stock strut mounts? If so, were they reused and reinstalled correctly? No bearings missing, etc? Those will fail over time, esp if on lowering springs, etc.

No, brand new ford mounts were used when the struts went in - wanted to avoid mixing old and new in that area. Front LCAs and springs remained stock

My post. Im taking the car to a buddys shop after hours on Tuesday so that we can put the new struts in. I'll let you know if this resolves it, but I had no issues before lowering, and started as soon as i drove the car after lowering.

guess i'll get the warranty work started with Koni, no sense in heading to Mustang Week with this situation...
// Nice, but unfortunate to see i'm not the only one with this issue
just got home from work now, i'm just driving around the community at about 10-15mph and you can easily hear it over the exhaust and wind...
