Clicking sound on bumps after strut replacement V70-XC70 1998

After replacement of struts and springs by Eibach and Koni yellow on my V70R I hear a clicking sound when riding over a speed hump. The sound is only noticeble with the windows open, and at the beginning (driving up) and the end (driving off) of the hump. It is not a rattle, but one single click.
I checked all the mounting points, and everything was fine.

Is there something that likely went wrong during the strut assembly? Everything is mounted as it was. There is a cross-nut inside the strut. There is no possibility to tighten it very well. Could that one be the problem, or could it be the central nut on top of the strut. This one is not very easy to tighten as well.
Finally could it be a faulty strut, or lets say is it a common failure?

Before I spend half a day by dismounting the struts I want to check other possibilities.

Thanks in advance,
Ed
