Clicking noise coming from coilover

I have a clicking noise coming from my rear passenger coilover. The coils are Function & Form2, and I have had 0 problems with them. I have tightened and the sway bar links, the top hat, the RCA bolt, coilover height adjustments are locked tight I cant seem to figure out why it has a very distinct click when going over certain bumps. Nothing else in the car makes this noise and have never had issues with them since purchase about 8 months ago. Any help!?!?

Check your top hat bolt. Remove your seat's side panel (one 10mm head bolt) and you'll be able to access it. Its likely loose.

Its hard to diagnose a sound that you describe in 1 word over the internet. You should go actually look.

Coilovers have a lot of adjustable parts, so it is only a matter of time before things loosen up and need to be tightened. As Roland said, check the top nut and make sure that's tight, as 99% of the time, that is what is loose.

UPDATE*** So my coilover is completely intact, nothing was loose, but I did remove, retighten & torqued all bolts. This was the case with my Megan coilovers, but these FF2s don't disassemble into 892374893483 parts like the Megans. I have checked the sway bar bushings several times and have also replaced the links with no luck. I noticed that as the weather gets warmer, I don't notice the noise as often going over the same bumps that can replicate/cause the noise to be heard, but still none the less, it still happens. Marcus from HeelToe responded to a message I had sent him, he believes that I may have to send it in for warrany repair, but the item itself actually rides fine, the noise just bothers me. Also to my understanding I have to send these into F&F, which I can't really do because this is my daily.

I tell people to stay away from Function Form for many many many reasons. But...this may or may not be a coilover problem.

Did you say you checked your top hat bolts?

Yep, I have checked top hat bots and pretty much every bolt I can think of. I really have had great luck with these, im just being particular about the sound. If it was something that was always there, I wouldn't think too much of it, but it happened once we moved to an area with colder weather, but now its no longer cold and I still hear it lol.
