No disrespect, but it is most likely an installation problem. We never have any trouble out of our cc-plates, and I've used them on several of my personal cars with no noise. Regardless, all UPR-brand parts carry a Lifetime Guarantee, and if there is a defective part, we will replace it. But I really think the car should be looked at.

So its underneath the strut tower correct? What struts are you running? do you have any pics of the install?
