Anyone ever find a good fix for this?My new Tein MonoSports are clunking over slow speed bumps. So far ive replaced end links and re torqued everything. Noise is still there.

Bump as well.
Having very slight clunking (rear passenger side) in the mornings only over slow bumps/uneven roads. But I don't notice it in the afternoons.

-What type of coilovers?
-Did this occur immediately after installing the coilovers?
-Did you check the sway bar links?
-Did you check the suspension for loose bolts or loose spring adjusters?
-Did you check the tophat nuts?

Checking is key. Hard to fix a clunk from behind a keyboard.

Coilovers should not clunk unless they're shit quality to begin with, or are worn/broken/are installed improperly.

HKS Hipermax IV GT (bought brand new)
Noticed it about 3-4 months after install
End links looked fine
Will have to check for loose bolts
Did not touch tophat nuts, just installed right out of the box

It's just weird when it only happens in the mornings and its not super cold (around 60 degrees or so)

endlinks won't look worn or look any different when they start making noise.

Disconnect one of them and see if it affects the noise.

Tophat nuts come loose sometimes. And so do spring seats.
