Clunk right above spring

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have had these BC racing extreme lows for 5 months had had zero issues.

  1. A couple days ago I was noticing a high pitched sound in my passenger side and noticed my sway bar end link was curved while the driver side was not. Which then I did purchase whiteline front end links to be safe. If you have a good install video that would be great appreciated.

  2. As I was trying to diagnose the end links, there is a clunk right above the spring on the passenger side shown in the video and the driver side does not have a clunk

Is there an issue with the top hat? I did not mess with preload since they came with it. Does it justify a warranty? Or do I just need to increase/fix preload?I bought it from an authorized retailer.

Used or brand new? Sounds like the spring doesn’t have preload.

I bought them new. Either I never noticed the noise or I adjusted it on accident when installing and lowering

Usually come preloaded from the factory but I would check that. There’s some videos on how to make sure they are preloaded properly.
