Re: 81 242DL strut replacement. Replaced stock struts with Bilstein HDs, new mounts, GT stiffer springs and GT reinforcement plates.

Took the car for a spin after replacmement. Driver's side clunks when accelerating off the line and also during sudden steering. (Yes I know, "don't do that!" lol). Brought car back, checked everything -- looks tight. Right side is firm but left side clunks when I push on the fenders.


Guys, help me brainstorm for possible solutions. Also if you need more info to diagnose the problem let me know as I'm sure I'm leaving out important info. Thanks so much for all your help.
