    Bilstein's is inserted type.you have to make sure they sit tight when you fit them into the struts.

        My frind I have bilstein B8 in my urs4 and I drive it last two years, and I didnt have any trouble with them. Do you check the springs conditions? Maybe thay are the reason for the noise.

          my friend.. I'm desperate! first time in my life I don't know what else can make that ugly noise.
          I take off spring,shock absorber maybe 12 times, and can't find where exactly noise come.
          without shock absorber noise don't exist.
          and I don't want to confess to my self that shock absorber is a problem , because they are NEW, 3 days old.

            What strut mount do you have?it's sound like when the spherical bearing on my 2bennett camber plates are shot.have you tried to take them off and pushed down the shock abs outside the car?is the sound coming out only one side or both?

                well today I try to change this upper shock absorber holder , and noting happened, same problem.
                than try to change spring with other one. and of course , bad noise gone.
                spring was a problem. but how that could happened in same time when I change shock absorber, I didn't move spring from the car, just change shock.
                it's very weird to me! or bad luck ! don't now !
