Tein Flex Z coilovers clunk sound driver side on GK

Hi guys,
Anyone experienced clunking sound after installing their tein flex z coilovers? It's not everytime I hit a bump or anything. Sometimes I hear it when turning or random bump. Not sure if its the springs or what. Anyone has experienced this and solved it? Thank you!

I had no issues with mine. Are you sure everything is tight and all washers, spacers and stuff are there?

I am pretty sure it's all there. It's crazy nothing looks loose in there.

Double check your sway bar endlinks.

I'm thinking 1 of 3 things:

-end links not tightened (all the way)
-did not tighten the top of the tower and entire assembly can move up/down a bit
-didnt re assemble correctly:

Yep. Just installed the Flex Z and had the clunk sound at random times. Esp when turning and going over a hump.

Sometimes it clunk, sometimes it doesn't. Sound is coming from the rear.

No problems with the front.

Still figuring out what is causing the sound
