    DC5R Buddyclub N+ "Clunk, Clunk, Clunk" Noises

    Hey guys, I have a DC5R with Buddyclub N+ Coilovers installed almost 1 year ago. For the past 9 months or so, I have this clunking noises when I turn around a corner or turn the steering wheel. When I got defected for height, I got it raised up by 999 Automotive (they installed the coilovers for me too) and since it got raised, it's been making that noise ever since. The only way to reduce it is to adjust the dampening settings all the up at like hardness of at least 8/12. 999 says that it's "normal", which I can't really believe. I'm taking it down to 999 again after my clutch is done to get it looked at before replacement warranty runs out. What do you think the cause of this could be, your opinion guys. Thanks

    could be a loose pearch,
    they could have a little to much pre-load on the springs,
    top nut could have come loose a bit,
    could be a blown shock,
    kinda need to jack it up and have a feel around to find out whats going on, should have a go, cause these coils will make noises from time to time and its good to know how to sort them out yourself

          I've checked if all bolts were tight, but they were all fine and tight! So nothing is loose, I'm guessing its the load on the springs and it doesn't like it, but it could be something else.

            Got the problem fixed, it was a loose perch was and also the cylinder and bracket was loose on both sides. So got it tightened and set more load onto the springs and it's beautiful now. Very stable and no knocking sounds. I knew it couldn't be the bolts under the hood. Thanks for your help
