New struts on a 2008 Dodge Caliber may make noise due to improper installation, such as not tightening bolts to the correct torque specifications or failing to align components properly. It's also possible that the struts themselves are defective or that other suspension components, like sway bar links or bushings, are worn and causing noise. Additionally, if the struts are not properly lubricated or if there is air trapped in the strut assembly, this can lead to noise during operation.
