strut noise after new replacement V70-XC70

Hello All:

I just replaced my front struts with bilstein tc's. All went well although it took me four house for the first one and just two for the second. All seemed well at first, but one day later I have a pronounced clunking in both struts. I am able to easily duplicate the street noise by simply bouncing the front end up and down in the driveway. I also replaced the strut mounts because the metal was seperating from the rubber using Febi Bilstein #15431. The only difference between the Volvo and the Febi was that the ribs that fit into the strut mounts weren't as pronounced. The strut mounts looked new so I reused them. I am sure I got both nuts tight as I double checked everything.

Any ideas as to what is clunking in there? Any help would be appreciated. I really hate the idea of taking them off again.

Gene
