Shocks blown?
 
I was lowered on Swift Sport Springs for a while and just reverted back to stock. When looking at my shocks, it didn't seem to have any signs of leaking oil.

After a few days of driving, I started to hear a soft clunking sound on the rear driver side wheel area. If anybody knows how Bristol board sounds like when you shake it, it reminds me of that.

It's only 1 side and I think I may be bouncing a bit more from that side. But this might be me overthinking it.

Thoughts?

Double check all nuts are torqued to spec, especially the endlink to the sway bar. IMO endlinks are the number one source of suspension clunks.

I like to torque things down while using the jack to load the suspension a bit. Sometimes things need some load to settle in the right spot, and torquing things down before they get there will allow some play and cause clunking.

Did you end up figuring it out?
