Unhappy Problem with new AGX Pro Kit setup

I finally replaced my struts and springs with agx adjustables and prokit. I live in the city so it took some getting used to but I'm loving it now after being on the highway, but I have one problem. When I go over a bump with my right rear tire there's a loud clunk sound. It doesn't do this on the left side.
Is there something the installer could have forgot to tighten or something? I had the whole suspension worked on including new ball joints, bushings, yada yada so I'm confused. Ideas?

Sounds like they could have forgotten to put in a bushing. Please look at the diagram on post #9. Sounds like your bushing #6 was misplaced.

you're springs could be "clapping." i had a clunk from the rear passenger side when i went over bumps after i lowered my car. i went to a honda dealership and bought spring tubing. i forget the part number but if u search you could probably find it. it almost eliminated the clunk. now i only hear it clunk when i hit reaaally big bumps...which u shouldnt do anyways

wow
cool thanks for the replies. it sounds like a bushing that's missing. the driver side rear has the same thing happen but without the loud clunck if that makes sense.

thanks again ( :

Turns out it's my exhaust hitting the bumper

At least it's a cheap fix. I'm going to try to secure it with coat hangers

good idea. You can also put tape on your blinkers to make em blink faster

no go anyway. there isn't much i can actually do. everything is secure, but there's flex in the hangers which i can't do anything about.
it doesn't seem to be as bad now anyhow

My passenger rear side does that clunking also on big bumps and weed holes, most often when my gas tank is low I guess thats because the suspension is not compressed as much as opposed to when tank is full..

Baltimore roads suck ass
