Default creaking from the spring?

there is this creaking noise coming from my right front wheel well. i had just got my springs installed and this noise never came before the installation. when i push down the right front side i think the spring is making this creaking noise because it is associated with the bouncing movement of the car. i can hear it within my car sometimes when i drive really slow. wat can this be?? maybe it hasn't settled in yet?? any ideas anyone?

Could also be a bushing. Just something else to look into. I wold lay on the ground (no, not uder the car) right next to the front wheel and hava a friend depress the suspension. You should be able to figure out where within the suspension the noise is coming from.

even if i do get to the floor level i can't even see inside the wheel well cuz my car is too low. the tire is blocking the view. i know its coming from inside there cuz i already did the depression test myself....i doubt its the bushings cuz it never did that before and i didn't get new ones.

yea i think its the bushings too, maybe the shop tighten something that they werent supposed to. tight and dry bushings = noises.
