Faint Groan Sound from Front Suspension HELP

[MrCivicHatch12]

Experiencing an issue usually in the morning or night where there would a groaning sound in the front suspension and the steering wheel would not feel smooth turning into driveway, or at slow speeds at a drive thru.

Took the car to Honda today to have them take a look, they said nothing appeared to be damaged or anything wrong, but wouldn't investigate further since I'm on Eibach Sportlines. They charged me for the diagnostic fee since it voids warranty and recommends that I change back to stock springs so they can further take a look.

Anyone experience this issue?

Any ideas?

Feels like binding sound. Check if the spring is seated under the top hat properly and torque it down

Would that require taking out the springs ? I didn't install it myself as I took it into a shop for installation.

Take it to the shop they will rectify it. Also, contact Eibach as I read somewhere that they were having some issues with springs and replacing them when customer contacts them.

Honda charged me and told me to change back my springs lol. Were you able to fix the problem after the noise came back?
