RE: Suspension Problems??
i did have an issue with tokico struts on another car i did. had two sets blow out the seals in just a few months. the company did nothing for me so i told them to insert said product you know where and switched to KYBs and never had a problem. they ended up being more money but also a better performing strut in my opinion.

Naw, it only makes the noise when I hit pretty much any bump now, regardless whether or not I turn the wheel. If I'm sitting still and rotate the wheel it won't make the noise.

RE: Suspension Problems??
The upper strut mounts are "one time use" parts. did you replace the upper strut mounts when you replaced the struts/shocks? If not, you need to get some aftermarket (Steeda HD) upper strut mounts.
I tried to "adjust" my stock swaybar mounts and got the clunking issue that seems to affect all S197's. Just a 1/4' tighten turn of the mount bolt on the strut fixed it. I think it's a manufacturer defect but who knows...

Mine did they same thing. I put a CHE front K-member brace on it and it fixed it. The front brace is standard on the convertibles, but not on the coupes. OH, hi Hammy!
