tein he question

hey.. i have a problem can someone help me? my right coilover is making weird sounds. every time i hit a bump or sometihng it makes a thump... sound... it sounds like something is loose. it happend before i twisted the actual spring and something on top of the spring and the sound stoped for a few weeks. and then now it came back and i thought it was the same part but it wasnt. does anyone know whats wrong? or has this happen to any one before?... sorry if this is a newbie question or anything =)

cool cool... quick tip: when you tighten them down, watch the lock washer under the bolt. Once it flattens out, stop - you don't want to strip those suckers (almost strippd one on my old HE's)
