I installed mine late last season and had no clucks. when I took it out this spring the clunks were there. i tightened them down ( hard buggers to tighten lol ) and Haven't heard a clunk since. i don't know if your suppose to or not but it fixed my clunk

I Installed Hotchkis front and rear with adjustable end links .After a couple weeks I started to get a clunk when ever I entered my drive way. I checked it out and one end of one link was a little loose ,so I tightened it up and all has been fine since .. Check them out it only takes one to make a bunch of noise...
