Default creak after coilover install

nstalled coilovers yesterday. Megan ez streets. Have this bad creak on my front driver side. I got the idea that its the dust shield on the breaks hitting something. Other theory is that i need a new upper control arm. Any input will help. Car drives smooth. Only does noise under 25mph creak dosent affect the way the car drives. Mostley doesnis whem moving steering wheel

Atleast now i know its something rubbing and not that my suspension is going bad. Thanks for the reply man. Havent really been able to get any input on this
