v70 xc awd 2002 "groaning" front struts

Post by Pikuni48 »

Purchased and had a local shop install Sachs front struts, bushings and bearings. Front struts "groan or growl" when moving the steering wheel. Shop insists struts and components only install one way and cannot be over-tightened. The sound is unnerving and I am concerned damage is being done..
Please advise
