Loud Clunking noise after Coilover install

Hey guys, well me and my buddies just installed some cusco coilovers on my car.. and after driving it for a bit, I hear some kind of clunkcing/knocking noise from the front right wheel area. Do any of you know what this might be? Oh and when its at idle/idling you can hear a very slight knocking noise.


thanks

Might want to check the preload. At least for my coilovers, if I don't tighten them enough, they make a knocking sound. If I tighten them too much, they make a popping sound. Haha.

Check the adjustment brackets that you turn to set pre-load and ride hight. When I had my tein flexes that was the main culprit and the desgins are essentially the same.
