I have a really loud clunking noise coming from the front of my car that was not there before I lowered it. Every time I hit a bump it sounds like something is about to fall off. I can also push down on the front of my car and make the noise. I did all the work myself and am 99% sure I did everything right but I guess it's possible I missed something. I replaced the shocks and struts with Tokico HP series shocks/struts from AM. I used the Eibach Pro-kit lowering springs from AM as well. I am taking it to get it aligned in the morning, I'm sure they'll be able to help me figure it out but if it's something I can do tonight I'd like to do it.Any help is appreciated.

Here's a video of me pushing down on the passenger's side front fender.

Fixed it Strut tower wasn't tightened down tight enough and was causing the rattle. Thankfully, an easy fix.

Good to hear you were able to locate the cause and easily fix.
Post some pics!

Are you referring to the 4 bolts on each side? I have J&M camber plates, and I get a "clunk" over bumps at low speed. I'm also pretty sure that I have everything tightened correctly, but I'm just under the assumption that most aftermarket camber plates will generate more noise than the stockers.

If it was those 4 bolts, then that's something I can double check pretty easily as well. Checking the nut that secures the camber plate to the strut is a bit more of a pain.

It was the single bolt on top of the strut mount. I was able to get an open end wrench in there and tighten it without taking it off.

Will start a different thread tomorrow with pictures

That one is 21mm, correct? I know the top of the stud can be held with a 10mm socket while the nut is tightened.

21 or 22, can't remember.

13/16ths works too
