I'd help but I'm at least three hours away.
That's a bit too much.

Yup and great customer service as well! Received my replacement shock a day early! I installed it and everything has worked out perfectly! The blown one had a bad seal or something. The shaft itself had about 1/8" free play.

you can only adjust the height, just so you know. there are two rings at the bottom of the spring. you can move them up or down depending on if you want to raise or drop the car. it isnt easy but not hard. for someone like me (has to be perfect with measurments) it would take about an hour or so until i am happy.

To adjust the height... You just have the jack the car up and adjust the two rings at the bottom of the spring, correct?

It's pretty easy; just time consuming.

Yes it was the drivers side. And after driving with the new coilover they sent me is starting to make the same noise again. I'm gonna take the new one off and see if It has the same problem as the last.

If it makes noises.. there is something wrong. Coilovers, struts, etc dont just "make noise" for no reason.

Make sure nothing interferes with anything when the suspension is compressed.

Make sure everything is tight.

A bad damper can start making a clunking noise as well.

I doubt its anything bad. maybe its jus sumthing typical. I've heard of other coilovers do that.

did u guys check ur sway bars?

personally I think its my end link. When you lower the car it seems as if theres a preload on the front sway bar. Ik my end links are a little beat up. I'm going to take the new coilover out and compare it to the old one and see if they both are doing the same thing. If so maybe they had a batch of bad seals going into the front drivers side struts. Hopefully everything will be okay. I hate the noise....
