So after two people took a drive around with me, I noticed yesterday when there's weight on the passenger side, the clunk isn't as hard and loud sounding. It's still obviously there (when I recorded the video clip, my GF was in the car, but she only weighs like 110-115), but not as bad as when it's just me or a very light passenger such as my gf.

The two people in my car were at the very least 50-60lbs heavier than my GF, there seemed to be a clear difference in the intensity. Soooo, could this signal a suspension issue? That when there's more load on the strut, it's clunking against the car less? I may likely reinstall the spring too, just in case, but I'm curious if I'm onto something here?

 

I think it's finally fixed. I replaced the struts with a set of 05 OEMs (which are a little different, surprisingly, but work perfect). Thanks to Mike (mreis) who donated his struts to me! I'm extremely grateful, and I'm very happy to have my car driving like normal without any clunks.

 

Nice!
