bang, clunk, clank, noise, smash, whatever.

s13 240sx,
car was running some unknown lowering springs and shocks, no noise whatsoever. car is caged, stripped, etc.

i just recently installed some JIC FLTA2, 10k/8k rates and took it for a test drive. Immediately driving no more than 50 feet, the rear is banging away. I'm pretty sure I tighted all the nuts and bolts, they were pretty much gunned on. Sounds like rear upper mount, but unsure. I can't reproduce the noise while jumping up and down in the rear, or by jacking up the car and dropping it. all bolts (sway, multilink) were tight and torqued down prior.

i'm going to recheck all the bolts tomorrow, anything else I should look for? Some are saying that JIC's normally clunk, who else has them who has no problems with them?
