Default Installed Strut bar - now making noise when turning..

Hello!

So I just got my first shipments of mods for my car!
SLP Lid, Filter, UMI Strut Bar.

I installed everything and wow, the intake sounds louder and the front end seems stronger going over bumps! (no more creaks!!!)

But I did notice that when I was pulling into work today, there was a light humming when I turned the car in either direction.

Could this be the PS going? :/
The car does have 112k miles so I wouldn't doubt if it was goin out.

Any thoughts appreciated

I would bet on the Lid rubbing on the Hood

Flush the system out and get rid of the cooler. The early models didn't come with them.
