Stallme Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 I just installed new KYB struts and strut bearings on my 2010 ford edge limited (20in wheels), I also ended up replacing the sway bar links, ever since, I have been fighting a clunking sound that sounds like something is loose. I made sure the torque was correct everywhere. I have pulled them multiple times and inspected them, everything is lined up properly. So I am at a loss. I have shaken it with no sound being heard. I am at a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Edge Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 Despite everything you have tried in an attempt to solve the clunking issue, and everything you have done appears correct, it is possible that the strut is bad internally. The only way to fix it is to get a replacement. Go back to where you bought them from, explain the issue and they should replace it without issue. They do come with a warranty, right?

I am at a loss. I am new here, but I have a 2010 Edge and I just replaced my front struts with Monroe Quikstrut and I, too, have a clunk or a knocking sound. I found out that KYB and Monroe struts, at least with my Quickstuts that the top strut nut or shaft nut can arrive not up to spec torque. Mine was suppose to be 40 ft/lbs. it was not. After I tightened it to the correct torque spec, the knock/clunk went away. If you didn't, make sure all the nuts and bolts were tightened while vehicle was on the ground (knuckle bolts/nuts and the 4 upper mounting nuts). Hope this helps.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently installed Bilstein shocks in the front struts of my wife's BMW X5 and didn't correctly torque the strut mount center nut - after correcting that the clunk was gone.
