suspension creak?

[Streets_of_Fire]

Hello. I had a shop install stock springs + dampers which i bought of a local guy (it was all assembled) anyhow, during the install the front right strut was kinda bent at the top (shop guy said maybe i was dropped) and said it was nothing major and just took pliers and bent it back. today i noticed that that side gives a creak when i roll over high speed bumps. what could it be? thanks

wait what, what part did he bend with pliers, nothing of importance can be bent with a simple set of pliers

the top portion of the strut where the 3 bolts are. the 3 bolts wouldnt align and when he looked at them, the top plate was kinda bent, so he straightened it and put it back in and the bolts aligned.

My stock strut used to do that when it was cold in the morning. Is yours doing it all the time?

to tell you the truth, it usually is cold, butit seems to happen through out the day, i will observe it, i just dont want to find out i have a bad shock or something that is bending my frame or something crazy like that, thanks though so far
