tein coilover suspension clunking in rear
anyone have tein coilover's and get the really bad clunking in the rear?

the centre bolt at the top keeps coming loose and supposedly it will always do that. it has to be tightened every couple of weeks as it comes loose.

anyone have this problem and fix it?

It might be loose/worn out bushings in your top hat... are you using stock top hats or some aftermarket (ex. tein) aluminum pillow mounts?
