Default Clunking noise

Anyone else get a little clunking/thumping noise when driving at slow speeds over bumps? I think it's my upper control arm wacking against the bottom of my strut tower. Anyone else on coilovers have this issue? Did my research and I don't believe its bushings or lose bolts. I can actually see a little indentation were these two pieces of metal make contact.
