I would have had the springs installed at the dealer, but they were looking at $400-$500 for installation alone!

I don't have a torque wrench, however I just went out and the bolts are on there extremely tight. I was using a 1/2" drive ratchet and couldn't loosen or tighten it at all, so I don't know if thats good or bad.

Unless it loosened the torque is according to the manual since I perfectly remember we torqued everything having like 3 or 4 tq wrenches there lmao
TRD srpings wont do this I dont think my problem was there before them...well before them.

Ya, I believe we torqued everything according to spec, not sure why this is given us the problems

Tech's told me it might be weather related i.e. cold weather and told me take note of the time and temperature of the sounds if I happen to hear them again.

Other than that, they ended up tightening up a few loose bolts under my driver and passenger seats to get rid of the sqeaky noise Ive been getting when going over bumps. (i'm lowered on trd springs)

So far, like cptdrse, the sound hasn't come back for me either. Tech's said all they did was take a part and inspect my shocks, struts, steering column, and then test drove it with me afterwards.

What does your actual invoice/repair order say that they did?

I doubt that they took apart the struts and steering column for inspection as you stated. Also, your car doesn't even have shocks.
