   have u tightened everything back up properly when u put the strut back on might just be something slipping like a rod end or something.

   Could be your cv joints, my mate had the same problem and he has replaced everything and still cannot find the problem, All the best though

   i'm not sure if the noise was there before as i boght the car with a snapped coil spring that side it appears as if the strut bends then releases itself if that makes sense everything is tight on it is there a diagram anywhere that shows a parts breakdown for the suspension?
