problems with front koni's

I had a shop install my springs and koni's and everything was fine for about a month, then I started getting a really loud noise and severe vibration from the front right wheel. Took it back to the shop and they told me the bolt holding the koni to the stock strut housing fell out. So they replaced the bolt and used some locking washers. Now the front right wheel makes kind of a clunky sound at low speeds kind of similar to what people described here. Some people said it was just the koni's breaking in but I already had them for a month before the first problem without any noise and now I've been driving around for about 2 months with the new noise(which is random and only at low speeds). Should I take it back to the shop to have them look at it/retighten everything or is there a page /w pics that shows all the bolts I should check to try and eliminate the noise myself?


Also everyone with konis how stiff do you set them for driving around in?

what kind of springs do you have? read silver2002's posts
my springs knocking?

it might be that the top perch isnt aligned right or that your not using spring isolators(the rubber tubing)

I have eibach pro kit springs. I think it comes with spring isolators already on the springs? or atleast it had some plastic wrapped around the middle of the spring. Anyways i read that entire post and i think it sounds like it might be that the top perch isnt aligned. Tomorrow ill go out and see if i can turn/twist my spring to see if its secure. Might just take it back to the shop cause im not sure i know enough to fix it myself and they should fix it for free as they did last time.
