Springs Binding =[

Hey guys just a quick history. My OEM suspension on my 08 135i was really starting to see better days and I was getting a lot of bushing groaning noises from the front end.

I purchased a b14 kit and after installed was still getting some sort of clunking noise just from my driver front side. Took it to my shop because I couldn't figure out what was going on (I did the b14 install myself). They told me my top strut mounts were no good.

I purchased a set of Kmac stage 3 camber plates for the front. Had my shop install them but was still getting the small clunk noise from the same corner. After a day I started to also get a really bad binding noise from the same corner. Took it back yesterday and we can see clearly that the binding is coming from where the bottom of the spring sits on the strut. Im not sure if this is causing both noises.

Regardless is there anyone with this same problem. has anyone ever installed a needle bearing kit between the bottom of the springs and strut?

TY in advance :]
