Drivers Side Rear CLUNKING, after spring install...Help please!
I've searched and the only thing I've found so far is that one guy said to take apart the rear suspension and crank down everything one more time...the thing is that when we installed my Tein Springs, we did tighten everything back there. I am going to be going in there again to make sure everything is good to go but does anyone have any other suggestions?? At first I thought it was my Jack bouncing around in the wheel well, that's where the sound was coming from. I removed the jack but sound was still there. I has to be an easy fix but I cant pinpoint it. Thanks guys!

teins c/os are notorious for clunking
but if all you did are the springs, maybe your lower spring mounts are shot.... they do wear, and many aftermarket springs do not fit them right.. they move around and clunk quite a bit.

Take out the rear shock you believe is making noise.
Measure the metal sleeve inside the bushing at the top of the shock, and compare to your OEM shock. Use a set of calipers or something a little more precise than a ruler.
The suspension is new for our cars. I'm thinking either that metal sleeve is a little too short, or the entire top part of the shock is coming apart from the piston. You'll be able to inspect both once you have it off the car, and taken apart.

Re: teins c/os are notorious for clunking
hmm, I'm gonna take the spring assemble out tonight and see if I can find whats wrong. I only did springs (H-Techs) and its making this sound in the rear drivers side only.
I'll let everyone know what fixes it.
