Good to hear the owner is up for helping. I hope they can resolve this quickly.

In theory, yeah, anything could have been damaged. But more likely it is an improperly torqued top mount or maybe the rubber insulator that goes between the spring and the strut top mount. IF anything is damaged it is on the shop.

The noise sounds like rubber being torqued on (in my opinion of course). Not metal to metal, which is good. But clearly something is binding and causing the noise. I am willing to bet it can be fixed fairly easily, unless Dinan still has an issue with its springs. But I don't think this is related personally.

Looking forward to hearing what the fix was....
