If you don't know what the problem could be, why would you name the post "Gc/koni probelm"?

well your spring is probably unsettling then and your clunk is the spring becoming seated again.

Yes, i just installed them, and now its more of a problem, i'm sure its the suspensions because it didn't do this before.

It is now vibrating against something, usually when i back up , and still clunks when i go over a speed bump.

Jack the up and check the tightness of the bolts and the condition of your bushings.

how do i check the condition of my bushings? and which bushings?

Actually theres something that i didn't tell you guys.
On my rear right side i believe its the lca? if not its the other bolt you take out to install the suspensions, is there suppose to be a nut to tighten the bolt? or is it just the bolt?

If thats the case, then that might be the problem, a missing nut. But It's the same on the left rear and it doesn't clunk or rattle.
