I had my 550 lowered one week ago today with the Eibach Pro-Kit. Today, I began noticing a creaking sound coming from the right front wheel area. The sound is only noticeable when turning at low speeds (probably less that 15mph) and under acceleration at those same speeds. There are no issues with rubbing, etc. I took the vehicle to the shop which installed the springs and they took the wheel off and confirmed that everything was tight. I am taking the car back to them first thing tomorrow morning for a further inspection, but do you all have any idea what I might be dealing with here? The tech mentioned that there might be some bearings grinding from being over-tightened, but didn't sound to sure of himself. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I would check if they installed the front right shock backwards.
Or forgot to replace something which causes the creaking.
Hope this helps.
