Did you install new springs and struts??

Or do you want to??

Clunking noise could be a number of things. Ball joints, strut mounts, etc.

There are plenty of manuals online for you. Just search n FSM.

What kind of struts did you install? If they are regular non-adjustable style then please torque the upper strut rod nut to 44-65 ft-lbs, the strut mount bracket (3 nuts) 32-38 ft-lbs. If they're Tokico Illuminas or AGX read your installation instruction the torque is less than the factory struts upper strut rod nuts! Also check that your coil isolators on the top and bottom of the spring or installed, Check that the round cutout on the upper strut mount is facing out, and check the your coil spring is set in it's upper and lower spring perch properly!

Did you recheck everything including the torque of your fasteners?
