Had a clunk when turned sharp. Thought I better look, found the spanner nut on both front struts not tightened down. I tightened them with the proper spanner wrench TIGHT. It this correct ? Or are they supposed to be just snug or something in between?

Are you refering to the nuts that hold the balljoints in the A arm ?? IIRC they should be tourqued to about 180 pound foot , a big pipe wrench would do the job , possibly with a cheater pipe on it . Others will chime in with the correct tourque value......
