    Question

    I installed new tie rods/control arms/shocks & struts/ springs/ mounts on my 1990 325i about a month ago. The car has been driving just fine the entire time until recently whenever the car hits a bump the passenger side front strut/spring or something seems to get loose and make a clunk noise. I took the wheel off and jacked up the car but could not find anything loose. When the car is parked and I raise the car up by hand at the fender it will make the same clunk noise on the way back down. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Sounds like it could be something to do with the upper strut mount .
    Check for movement when you bounce the suspension .

        i retorqued the nuts but they weren't loose, it really sounds like the spring is moving? but I do not see how that is possible, i might just reassemble the entire strut this weekend.

          Is it coming from the rear or front suspension?

                  Wow, the strut was loose inside the strut housing, somehow the large nut that screws into the housing came loose?
