Hi, I recently replaced the front struts on a 2008 Taurus FWD with Monroe quick struts. The left strut started making noise after a couple hundred miles. The noise is coming from the top strut bearing. I can see the upper spring coils binding and releasing when the wheels are turned. I've loosened the upper strut nuts, drove it, and retorqued, but still makes noise. I tried shooting some silicon spray into the bearing area, which seemed to help slightly. The right strut is quiet.
Am I resigned to replace it with another one? Perhaps try a different brand strut?
Thanks!
