For your clunk make sure the nut holding your strut assembly is all the way tight. Sometimes if it not 100% lined up it will not be seates properly and when it seats the nut will be a little loose.
It doesn't take much for the clunk, maybe a 1/4 turn or so.

X2 common proble when installing springs. Re tighten both upper strut nuts and add a second nut to keep them tight. Worked for me.
