Default clanking after 6130 re

So I put my 4.5 superflex on with my 5100 bilsteins and iro sye. Got it aligned and everything but something is clanking around up front at the most random times while driving. I've been under and retorqued stuff up twice. I'm lost any ideas??

Are the coils seated properly? Did you check the trac bar bolts?

So I took a stroll out to my Heep and I'm assuming that I can hear a click when I push hard on my upper track bar mount, that the bolt needs to be tightened. Man I was going crazy. Now to figure out what is squeeking in my door panel and glove box. Then shell be as quite as a whistle

So update/Bump My slip yoke eliminator doesnt engage my oil seal all the way. Leaks a little bit of fluid. Think that could be the knock? I want it gone.
