Squeaky noise?

I just installed my springs (I know, its not recommended and I should have got shocks with them to save time money labor blah blah. It's only temporarily for now till I can afford a real kit.) and I keep hearing a squeaky noise, almost like the springs are rubbing against something. But the thing is, its only on the left front side.

Is this supposed to happen? If so why only the left side? Is it because its new and it has to be broken into?

Anyone know what it might be? Brake Shield? I think I bent it a little during the installation, but I bent it back. Springs? Something I might've missed while bolting and screwing things back in? Someone told me its the bushings?

The noise only persists when I get into the car, put pressure on the front left side of the car, and drive the car.

Thanks in advanced, any help is appreciated.

is that why? If so its kinda funny..

Because on the left side(driver side) we spent a longer period of time trying to get it to be seated properly, and thats the side that squeaks. And on the passenger side, it was off by about 1 CM but my friend told me it would seat itself once I start to drive.

So why is this happening?
