The installation itself was fairly smooth. Now there's a clunking which sounds off while going over even the smallest of bumps.
I've read in the archives how people who have had simalar problems put washers over the top of the struts (under the big nut accessed under the hood?) and that arresting the problem. I've also read how that a "spacer" type washer can be installed (dropped) into the bottom of the strut tube.

Can I remove the big top strut nuts while it's installed in the car with out compressing the springs?
