Help! Need detailed pics or schematic of the spring assembly

I just recently re-installed my Comptech springs and now I keep hearing a clunk on the passenger side front. The clunk isn't heard all the time, but you can hear it when you hit a bump. I think I may have fogot to put one of the washers back in, but I'm not sure the washer I found goes to the assembly. Does anyone have any schematic or pic that shows what is in the assembly?

Thanks

So how tight do you have to tighten the top screw on the assembly? What is the allen key in the center for?

The allen head is so you can hold the shaft of the shock while you tighten the bolt. If you didn't hold the shaft you probably don't have the nut tight enough.

Tighten until "tight." Use the allen key to hold the shaft. DO NOT use an impact gun.

Thanks! I held the middle with an allen key and then wrenched the nut til it was tight. Test drove it and no more clunkity clunk.

Thanks Again
