Default Clunking in rear SOLVED!!

So I've had this clunking noise for a while on the passenger side rear of the car. I know people with Teins had probs with this but I have B&G springs and Hotchkis sways so I shouldnt have. well today when installing my exhaust I found out what was clunking check this out!!


Yeah thats not cool. I know i torqued all the bolts down to the specs in the Hotchkis instructions. I checked them twice. Since i couldn't find the bolt for that I just used a new bolt and lock washer and i also added one to the other side...This was not cool at all.

Yeah I wasn't happy either. I know my torque wrench isn't to NASA specs or anything but its decent so I shouldn't have had a problem. I would just add lock washers like I did. No way those things are coming off now.
