This was the case on my car too. I had installed Bilsteins, with a
somewhat different nut, which uses almost all the thread instead of
just some of it, like the OEM shocks. The rest of the thread was
dirty, and couldn't be used. I cleaned with solvent and re-installed
the nut, and the clunking disappeared! Best of all, cost was almost
zero! :-)
