I have a 9th gen Civic with a clunking sound on the passenger side on most bumps that's been going on for about a year now. I had it looked at by my local garage who told me it was my shock. I replaced the shocks and it still did it so I reinstalled the original shock and tested it and it's not loose. Recently, another sound started from the driver's side. Then I checked into it and discovered a very small clicking sound when I turned the shock and realized the bolt wasn't completely tightened. Thus, I tightened it and it went away. I assumed I didn't tighten enough when I reinstalled them. Therefore, realizing such a small sound made a big impact and now determined to find the passenger side noise again. I tried moving all connecting parts with my crowbar and think I hit on my rear spring. It made a sound just like when I hit bumps after I was able to move it with my crowbar. So a stupid question is, I'm assuming those springs should be seated well without play, correct? The rubber dampers seem a bit loose as well. Should they be seated without being able to move? What are the possibilities of the springs wearing out compared to the rubber mounting dampers? Should I replace everything anyway just to conclude the noise? Any other input is appreciated.
