i posted that my springs were binding after a kyb/springtech install. i seated the springs up to the stoppers, bumpers, whatever they're called. and sometimes when i turned i could hear a snapping. if i hold the spring as i turn, i can feel the spring sort of bind up and release.

i was told this would go away, about a month+ later, it still does it

so i was told to jack up the car, loosen the bolts, turn it back and forth a few times and it would go away.

well im not sure if you guys meant the 3 small bolts, or the one big bolts. i did the 3 small bolts, it got about 3x worse. i then tried it with the car parked and the front end on the ground. seems to have gotten a litle better, but worse then originally. i tried the 3 smalls, then the 1 big, still bad. then i tried all 4 still bad. then loosened all the bolts, and turned the wheel back and forth then kept it pointing right so that the spring would be pushed against the bumper, then i tightened it

still no luck

i probably need a alignment now, but any suggestions?

The center bolt is the one you wanna loosen to releave the pressure on the spring. You can always bring it to a MECHANIC and have them check it out and fix them.
