So my daily driver developed an annoying clunk in the front driver side. A search here and on the Pelican board talks about a loose gland nut on the strut. Thought I'd just go through how I fixed it.
A couple of videos on YouTube: Jumping up and down on the fender With the wheel off My garage is extremely echogenic so it sounds much louder than it does on the road! Annoying nonetheless. Tools needed: 19mm socket 22mm socket Giant pliers Breaker Bar Torque Wrench Blue Locking Compound Jacks, jack stands Screwdriver, tamp or punch Mallet Paul |

I had this problem too. Before I reassembled it I cut about 1 1/2" off the bottom of the upper cover so I can recheck the that nut from time to time without having to do this all over again. When the car is on the ground the cover is well over the gland nut.
