I replaced the front struts in a 95 A6q but now the struts twist a little in the top mount and
it makes a lot of noise during turning and some during normal driving. I tried to tighten the top nut but it was already tight. Has this been a problem for anyone else and do you know how to fix it? The struts are the cheap Gabriels so is it the struts that are designed incorrectly and need a spacer/washer added to give the nut more compression?

The strut twists in the rubber just a little and then pops back making a creaky noise.
The mounts look fine though. It seems like there should be more stress on the strut so it won't twist at the top.

I have the same problem with KYB struts but only on passengers side strut...
I put plastic cup from the bottle under the strut just to test. And of cource the noise dissaperd, but not for a long since the plastic cup got teared off pretty quickly
