Are you guys having problems with the front springs sitting correctly during bumpy conditions? We've taken apart the front end multiple times, put it back together, have the noise disappear, then after a few miles it comes back and it sounds like the springs aren't sitting correctly but we know we reassembled the strut assembly properly. It's a good thing Carboy is really nice to us and is doing this for free, but they also warned us it wouldn't fix the problem. I sprayed water up into his top spring seat pads and the bottom seat pads and the sound will go away as long as it's moist and wet, but once it dries the clunk comes back on hard bumps or while the wheel is turned. Any ideas/anyone else with this? The noise is only there during moderately hard to hard impacts, or at acceleration/braking near 5 mph, never present at higher speeds. It's mostly an annoyance issue (at this point anyway).

It sounds like the noise I have but I had the noise b4 I got the springs and struts, when they installed my suspension the guy told me I needed new swey bars, but I still havent put them in, b/c its been raining for so long and I dont hear the noise but I think this weekend I will do them.
