Check a couple of things:
1. make sure the lug nuts are torqued to spec!!!! also make sure the wheel is seated on the hub center bore.
2. check that the spring is seated correctly on the lower perch.
3. make sure the brake line is attached correctly to the strut

Clarifying questions:
a) noise - have someone drive your car in a parking lot slowly and stand near it and see if you can pinpoint where in the suspension the sound is (top, bottom)
b) are your wheels stock wheels or aftermarket?
c) what else in the suspension is aftermarket, if anything?

Hey thx for the reply, I found out that the axle nut was loose! Pep Boy mechanics are idiots, just proved my point when I took it back to have them look at it and they told me everything looked ok, meaning they didnt look at a damn thing. Had a local shop tightening it up for me since I didnt have the tools. Pep Boys
