Amazing what a couple of washers can do. Your clunk isn't the driveshaft again, is it?

Nope. It only happens when the car drops into a dip or other low sudden spot. It wont' happen on a bump up. And it is a clunk sound coming from the rear somewhere. I was hoping it was from the washers but once I saw how those were installed and what they were I knew it wasn't going to fix the clunk.

Has the preload on your Supercars backed off? Or set the same? Clunk on same side of car when it happens?

Reason I ask is if it happens at a dip, it could be the spring suddenly drooping then smacking the upper spring perch.

It's never really stopped from even before the supercars. I hammered my coil shaft rings together so I seriously doubt they will back of.

Maybe it's my car trying to kick off the last remaining Pfadt items.

haha, funny thing is I was going to say the bolts on the sway bar may have backed off! When I had Pfadt bars they slipped cause their staps have some play up and down in them.

Mine did too at one point. Me and Chris locktited the shit out of them and bolted them down.

Like I said, that's an oxymoron.

I did however stay in a Motel6 recently.
