Then I went under the wheel and twisted the gold middle part until it spun as loosely/easily as possible which indicates that it has no preload. As preload is added in either direction, you'll feel it get harder to twist. Find the middle point and you're good.
Finally, put the car back in the air, took the wheels off again and tightened down the adjuster bolts on the ends. Put the wheels back on and test drive. No more clunk and car no longer any more difficult to turn left vs. right with just me in the car, it's amazing.

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I'll try that out soon.
