I just installed 4 KYB shocks from Bus Depot and getting a clunking sound
when driving over some kinds of bumps (not all the time).  I have tried
re-torquing and have them about as tight as I can get the bolts.  Is it
possible the nuts are bottomed out on the end of the threaded portion of
the bolts?  Do I need to add a flat or lock washer?  Can't tell exactly
which one it is, sounds like driver's side, but not sure.   Seems to me
this was discussed before on the list.
Make a suggestion:  Install two at a time and test drive rather than all
four at once!
Original shocks were shot, although not leaking.  Definite improvement over
speed bumps.
