massive clunks

Having installed many 2Bennett coil overs on type 89 cars, I can assure you 
this is not a "standard" type of sound.  Some thing somewhere is loose, here 
are some suggestions:

-loose ball joint nuts, these have to be VERY tight

-loose strut tube cap, this also needs to be very tight or the strut will 
clunk around inside the housing.  BTDT with Bilsteins many times if that is 
what you are running.

-make sure that the upper spring cap is saftey wired to the spring.

-make sure the threaded sleeve is secured properly to the strut tube to 
prevent movement.

<< good day list!!  well i have a new problem and im guessing its serious.
 I purchased te 2bennet  coilover system for my 1988 Audi 90 FWD.  its
 been on for about 1 month now along with expected clunks.  on the
 highway last week they started clunkin like crazy.  when i turn the
 steering any way, it clunks.  even smallest bumps in my path make a
 terrible racket.  so i took it to te shop and they don't know what to
 make of it.  anyone think you can help out?  thank you so much! >>
