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 just did this over the weekend. I have boge struts with bilstein dampers. I started on the passenger side. Mine has a slight gap with the threaded collar, however there was no slop. I took it apart anyway. Put locktite on the collar and put it back on. Still has the same gap. Went to the drivers side, took it apart, same gap, before and after. However after torquing both nuts to 58 lbs, the clunk is gone. I also noticed my washers weren't bent. Wonder if they came loose?
