hello !! i just finished a great install with a friend, but there is a lurch/creak from the front left side every now and then, not too common, coming from the front left side

any ideas what it could be?

well it could be that you didnt put any white lithium grease where the spring meets the shock and the upper portion that helps keep the shock in place. I didn't know about that either until my buddy got his springs installed by my neighbor who's a retired mechanic of over 30 years.

Did you torque the top bolt of the shock component correctly? To be sure, use a torque wrench.
