    What make were they?  It's probably poor quality rubber in the bushes that's creaking on corners, metallic creak sounds more like the bolts might not be tight enough though!

    When I did mine I made note that the Ford guide made very clear that the strut was not to be moved forward/back whilst disconnected from the wishbone. Are the strut bearings/mounts that sensitive to movement? I've seen a few videos online where people just wang them around 🤣

    I've never had any issues with them, but then I guess if you are careful enough and not ragging them about... The strut only needs moved a small amount to do them but that could be them covering their bums given the top mounts are plastic.
