Why would I hear clunking noises even though my shocks/ struts are new?
This is usually caused by a mounting problem, not by the shock or strut itself. Check the components that attach the shock or strut to the vehicle. The mount itself may be worn enough to cause the shock or strut to move up and down. Another common cause of noise is that the shock or strut mountings may not be tight enough, allowing the unit to move slightly relative to the bolt, bushing, or other attaching parts.
