W204 lowered on H&Rs but now creaks?

[Matt702]

Hi all, so finally getting my car how I want it BUT after fitting my H&R lowering springs when I turn at low speeds I get a creaking noise every time and quite loud. I thought it was them settling but it’s been a while and fair few miles now.

It’s a 2010 w204 c350.

Checked fitted correctly and seated right and they are. Replaced top mount bearinging and still the same.

Anyone else had this issue or know the fix?

Thanks

Could be OEM shocks/strut. Lowering springs do put a bit of strain on OEM shocks and makes it wear quicker. If your shocks have not been replaced before, it might be the strain the springs on it.
