Clunk noise with video, have searched and searched no luck
I don't like to be "that guy" that asks questions that have been asked a million times but I have searched and still can't find anything.
07 Nismo 45,000miles.
Problem:
Whenever I hit any type of bump my car makes a clunking noise. Even bumps that you can't see like cracks.
Sounds to be coming from the front more on the passenger side. But does almost sound close to the middle of the car. If I had to guess it would be lower.
It started a few days after coming back from a 2,800mile road trip to Zdayz
Spec
ISC Coilovers -1.5" front -1.25" back professionally installed about 4,000 miles ago
Alignment professionally done 4,000 miles ago
Sportline 19x9.5 +22 19x10.5 +22
Video:
As you can hear I was on a bumpy road so the sound was pretty steady. It is a very deep clunk.

Things I have tried with no luck:
Tightening all the bolts to proper torque
Rubber hammer but can't replicate the clunk
Is there anything else anyone can think of to try and fix this?

sounds like a loose coilover adjusting ring = /
jack up that corner and check them
also, you had your coilovers and alignment done professionally..why not just take the car back to that shop and have them check it? only 4k miles and already clunking? sounds like they should fix it..

It's like 1 1/2hrs away from me. So I'm trying to figure out and easy way to fix it with out traveling that far. But that will be my next step if I can't find anything on my own.

Here is another possible fix for people who this was unsuccessful.
https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance...e-for-4-a.html
Ive been having the same issue after installing SPL front a-arms, compression rod bushings, and front lower control arms bushings all from SPL. Also, I installed SPL rear camber arms, eccentric lockout for camber arms, and SPC toe bolt washer extender.
When I took down the front cross bar (or brace) one of the bolts were stripped so I just ordered some bolts to replace the bad one maybe the bar is rattling against the steel it sits against. Or possibly the SPL compression rod bushings are too big and it is leaving a gap at the cross bar causing the rattle.
I am testing new bolt first, then I am going to try the link above if this doesn't work.
