Default Tanabe DF210 Clunking sound (front right)

Hi all

I have had this issue for a while, I do not believe it is my front lower ball joints because i replaced them with OEM a year ago.

The sound happened right after I had my springs installed. When i drive on bumpy or uneven pavement it clunks up front.

Im told its possibly the springs just hitting eachother or something, anyone chime in?

I have DF's, but never had a clunking noise. I hear my shocks though going over a bump.
I found this info from the 3GS forum whom had a clunk noise...

"Your spring and lower rubber bushing is not seated correctly on the spring perch. I had the same clunk on my Pro Kit and I fixed the seating of the spring. it was off by 1/4" No more noises."
