2 weeks ago i had bought some brand new PBM comp coilovers s13 and i only driven about 300-500 miles on it since then. When i drive n hit rly rly small bumps i mean rly small bumps. It makes a loud loud thump noise. I dont wanna blame the coilovers because they are too darn sexy and good but this rly loud thump noise continues coming from the front passenger side. I am still a noob! Please dont flame me! Someone please help me figure this out! Would really appreciate it! If someone can i will upload a video to make it easier!

No worries- we were all noobs at one time.... sometimes still are lol

Sounds like a bad passenger side ball joint. Jack the front passenger side up, grab the tire at the top & bottom & try to wiggle it vertically... If it wiggles, look on the inside where the lower control arm connects to the spindle... If the fulcrum of the wiggle is that connection; then it is a bad ball joint.

Aside from that, put it on jacks and start checking that all the bolts are tight, and nothing else shakes rattles or rolls... If the thump/clunk is THAT loud, it will likely be pretty easy to fig out whatr it is when you look at it.
