Volvo 850 1996 GLT

I had some bilstein touring struts put on the front end. I Used new mounts and spring seats from FCP. Turning at slow speeds make a lot of noise from the right side that sounds like rubber slippage/creaking. CV boots look in tact. I think I read somewhere on this board about factory shims or some such thing to reduce front end noise from strut mounts? Anyway I don't have a good Volvo indy in town or my own setup to work on struts. Anyone had similar rubbery/creaking w/ newly mounted struts? Thanks. Paul
