Default so i installed my new struts and somethings not right...

my passenger side front strut is making a kind of "shhhh" noise on speed bumps or dips in the road.

Comparing the illuminas to the D-specs is like comparing apples to oranges i would imagine lol

Maybe the top seal on the strut is leaking and what you are hearing is the air moving in and out of the strut. Check your brake lines as well. make sure brackets that secure them to the strut and body didn't break?

You may have to have someone bounce on that corner of the car and listen to see if you can hear it. Or, you may even have to pull the strut out and inspect it.
