over the weekend i installed new struts and shocks. after finishing and driving it, there's a slight clunk coming from the driver side rear wheel. should i check to see if the top of the struts are tightened? it sounds like its coming from the bottom which i searched and people said it could be the endlinks. we didn't take the endlinks out when we did the switch because the bolts wouldn't come out, they just kept spinning

 

sway bar end links may have been damaged while extra load was happening during install
if it does it over bumps that is your first place to look

Otherwise YES always go back and ck all the bolts
things tightened when it was in the air are not the same when back on the ground

how did you put them together?--an air gun to tighten main nut on top of strut?
