Hey guys,I have install my kw v1,and I have this clunking noise when I turn the wheel either side,now I notice something today when I lift the car to check the noise,I notice that on the pass side when I have the car on the lift am able to move the spring with the strut mount altogether,but on the driver side it wont move,but when I move the entire wheel on the driver side the strut mount with the spring move find together with the strut,but on the pass side wants to skip when I move the wheel causing the clunking noise,so my question is,the pass strut mount is not good or what,please let me know if I need new strut mount (guide support),and if any body experience some like this,and let me know if you guys understand what am saying,if not I will make a video so u guys can see what am saying, in ,I know someone say on another tread,that something the nut is not tie right,but I check and is right,and if I tie the strut nut like really tie,then the clunking noise get worse because when I tie the strut nut really hard,and I lift the car the strut mount and the spring wont move,but it will skip more,so I dont know I may do a video late today and post it in here,but if someone is experience this and find a solution please let me know,another thing,I replace the lower control arms,and I didn't have much of a clunking noise,maybe once in a while,but now after I put the lower control arms in both side is much worse,and is only on the pass side,before when I have the clunking noise once in a while it was on the pass side also,well on the pass side all the way,thanks in advance.

Note:how can I tell if my strut mounts are gone,like if I pull pull the coilovers out how can I tell?

From the vid I'd say your strut top mount has been wrongly fitted and is seized. The lower perch is allowing a little movement, but the top is clearly locked. Possibly been wrongly assembled..?

I did it my self,and I put everything back together like on the driver side,I may have too take out the pass side and double check,now when I lift the car the spring comes loose with the strut mount and I can even move it with my hands left and right but not the strut,but not on the driver side,so I dont know why may be u right,I may need to double check,thanks for the advice.

Yes it's your upper mounts I had same problem with mine. Once you change the upper mounts slowly lower the car down so it's sits properly on the upper mounts.

So u think that my strut mount are wrong sitting,or u think my strut mount are gone,and I need to replace it?

Yes,I fix it,I bought a strut mount,and after I bought it,I find out that I put the big washer in the wrong spot,the big washer going between the strut mount and the upper spring plate,and I put it on underneath of the upper spring plate in top of the shock absorber ,so that's why it was causing the clunking noise,the strut mount was stock in top of the upper spring mount,so didn't have enough room to move freely cousing that crazy noise,so I return the strut mount,and the clunking noise is gone,so double check ur suspension and look that everything is correct.
