rear clunking from coilovers

I now notice a rear clunking unlike anything i've ever heard before. It comes from my rear driver strut and sounds like the strut is jiggling around during moderate/hard turning. I've already tightened the strut top nut and the 3 top mount nuts.

What is wrong with my F-ing coilovers?? one clunk after another...is it because i drive in a city with rough streets?? If so, should i also check my rear sway bar nuts/bolts to make sure they're tight again??

I've got the GAB coilovers for gc8. they are set at 2 front, 3 rear (fairly soft..atleast softer range). My car isn't very low. its got about .75 inch gap between tire and fender. Yes the roads are bad in the area.

The noise is only noticable when i make hard right turns....but the noise comes from the left rear coilover. sounds like the strut assembly is rattling around. Is it maybe because of the STI rear strut top mounts like tighting fitting over the strut shaft???
