Default 2001 civic Suspension Popping

Now Before some one says Use the search function....I have and have read every diy on suspension installs and I Still cannot find a detailed Instruction on How to rid My car of this awful Noise. I have Taken Off the struts and Ligned up what i think are the right Marks ansd still have a Noise. The arrow on the strut Mount Lines up with the Hole in the Spring pearch on the top and Bottom of the strut But i still have Noise. Please give me some insight on how to fix this

Thanks

top hat isn't aligned correctly, if you've taken it apart and tried fixing it then it's still not correct if it's making the pops.

3rd try is the charm, right?

also check your strut bearings and make sure they are intact.
