I recently hit a string of potholes pretty dang hard and now have a clunking noise coming from the rear and possibly the front. Am on d2 lowering springs. Kinda sound like the sway bar/ endlinks but i have tightened them over and over and dont think its that. Could possibly be shocks?

Yeah, kind of same deal with me. I developed a front clunk from the driverside. Speed bumps, pot holes, railroad tracks wreak havoc on suspension. I had the driver side front sway bar end link tightened. It was "loose" 1/4 turn. Clunk went away. About 10 months later clunk came back. The same end link was "loose" 1/4 turn. Seemed okay, but few days later I swear I hear an occasional clunk again in the same area. I have the whiteline FSB and front end links. I made an appointment for next week to have shop check it out. We'll see if it gets worse or not. I told the shop and they said they feel it may be something else.

If you investigate and find something, let me know. I'm also lowered on eibach pro kit. I'll keep you posted too.
