I recently installed a new set of IDP springs and Monroe Senzmatic shocks (I know why?, the shocks were on sale) on my 75 242. After doing so I am getting a clunking noise from the drivers side. This only occurs as I slowly first accelerate to speed. All the bushings in the rear are new poly. I noticed a worn transmission mount and replaced it. Pulled the springs and shocks and reinstalled them with the correct torque and made sure the the srpings were properly seated. I am at my wits end. I did a similar install using Bilstien shocks for my 88 240 with no problems.

Anyone out here have any thoughts? I am thinking my problem is in the springs, like it is just a faulty unit.
