Are you 100% positive that that shock isn't blown? If everything else checks out then the shock has to be the culprit. Maybe they just rebuilt your shock under warranty instead of sending out a new one. Who knows with all of the crazy cost cutting measures companies are doing now. I'd be highly frustrated also. Sorry.

Actually, they sent me a new one. I still have the original shock.

I went and ordered a new top mount per Tim's experience. Granted, I'm not running OEM top mounts but it was the cheapest part for me to replace and not feel bad for doing it. If this shit doesn't do it, I'm attacking the compliance bushings with new urethane ones. If I have to replace, might as well upgrade.

Update: replaced my compliance bushings with new polyfilled OEM ones and all is good. Had to cut off my end links which I really didn't want to do but had no choice.

So you replaced only the compliance bushings and the end links?

And a couple of broken studs. The end links was because I had to cut them off.

As am I. The only noise I get now are from those stupid sharp bumps that every one with a lowered vehicle knows and loves.

Nah. Control arm knock at highway speed on bumps that would be considered speed bumps in most parking lots. The DOT does a shitty job at "repairing" the highways up here.

New update:I still have the clunk. I had the car on the lift the other day to replace a wheel and took a look at the recently replaced compliance bushings. They are just fine. The poly is holding up perfectly. I did discover my inner cv boot is torn so you can imagine the mess of grease I have in there. Not fun. I noticed I still had the clunk prior to discovering my inner boot being torn.

Another update. Replaced my PS axle and upper strut mount and I still have the clunk. It seems to have gotten more violent. I can't keep throwing parts at this but I'm even more at a loss than before.
