I just installed my new suspension.... KYB AGX with Espelir Active Super Down springs. when driving, I notied a little clunk when I turned the wheel. Its coming from the passenger side and it doesnt do it every time I turn. When I got out and looked under the car, I noticed that the springs werent straight. They are tilting a little backwards.

I have the shocks in place so the brake line is facing towards the car. Could I have put them on backwards (left on right and right on left)

make sure the springs are seated properly on the housing

they "look" properly seated. I had a friend tell me that the upper mount isnt moving, and the spring is moving on the bottom perch. I just got back from tinkering, and it seems to have stopped moving, but I still hear the clunk

insure that the spring is rotated to the "locked" or beveld position, so it cannot move. Like what the guy above said, its probably not seated.
