I just had my JIC coilovers and RB sway bars w/ RB end links intalled today and I'm having this loud clunking noise coming from the front passenger side whenever I go over bumps or driveways. Not sure if it's a spring binding noise, it sounds louder then that. I re-checked everything and they look fine, not a sign of scratch of the components. What should I look into next? Thanks.

Re-torque the sway bar bolts/nuts to specification. Also do a search of the forum for threads dealing with this specific "problem".

the lugnut torque spec was revised from 88 lb-t to 108 lb-ft to address front wheel clunking, be sure to check this to

Thanks. The car seems fine now after a couple hundred miles. I'll re-check everything when I do the alignment.
