Unhappy Is this the sound of a failing stock strut mount?

I have eibach sportline springs and their struts/shocks. After driving for about 10 minutes I start getting this binding/chirping noise from the front left when turning. I posted a related thread in the general section before I was able to narrow it down to the possibility of a failing strut mount. I tried to edit it to see if it would allow me to move it but no dice.

I'm considering going with MM adj. camber plates but beforehand I'd love to get some other opinions.

Thanks!!!

(skip to around :10 to start hearing the sounds)

That is the exact sound my strut mounts made when it turned out the previous owner had taken the spring isolators out of the strut mounts to use on his camber plates.

If it is failing you might not want to go with the MM piece, it reuses the stock perches.

I used the ground control plates and they don't reuse any parts from your original set up. All parts are included. No extra noise and works great.
