Can't diagnose clunking in new front suspension!

Manaz, is this how you have adjusted your camber?

Camber was adjusted on the rear using adjustable rear control arms that allow toe/camber modification (at the same time). Front camber changes are just the readings on a car where the whole suspension system has some slack in it (it has to!), and thus if you move the car a bit, some settings will change slightly (this is why specs are given as max/min, rather than just a static number you have to try reach).

Ahhh, ok I understandy now!! I also looked at your sig and see you have the Bora 4motion so you can adjust your rear, unlike us with the torsion beam

I solved the problem - and yes, it was my stupid fault
forgot to do up the left swaybar retainer... fell off the car this mornig

i didn't put my allignment out (much ) when i replaced all 4 dampers, and I even had both axles on the front end disconnected. I was just super carefull with the tie rods.
It is advisable to get an allignment done however - even if you don't notice it, you might be getting worse fuel economy and/or increased tire wear.

... now to find that swaybar clip before the street sweeper does...

Yep, the 4Motion cars are a bit different, certainly in the rear.

There's a level of adjustment available on the stock rear end, but not enough really, particularly if you lower the car (where negative camber becomes a real issue). That's why I got the adjustable control arms - I got the ECS ones, I know dainese has just gotten the gruvenparts ones which are significantly cheaper but I'm sure of at least equal strength/quality - alas, they didn't fit into my OEM+ theme.
