squishing noise on Tein Coilover!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got this squishing noise that occurs during turns, and stops, hitting bumps from the front. Does anyone else have any ideas on what this might be?

Thanks

Make sure spring is mounted correctly sitting in the upper rubber mount

Keep in mind the Flex has a metal balljoint and not a rubber bushing like the factory Lexus one. It's bound to transmit more road noise into the cabin.

Problem found and fixed!

My mechanic found out that some nuts just came loose on the suspension and needed to be tightened. Problem was fixed and no more squishing noise when turns and hitting bumps.

Thanks everyone for your help!
