So my daily driver developed an annoying clunk in the front driver side. A search here and on the Pelican board talks about a loose gland nut on the strut. Thought I'd just go through how I fixed it.

A couple of videos on YouTube:

Jumping up and down on the fender

With the wheel off

My garage is extremely echogenic so it sounds much louder than it does on the road! Annoying nonetheless.

Tools needed:
19mm socket
22mm socket
Giant pliers
Breaker Bar
Torque Wrench
Blue Locking Compound
Jacks, jack stands
Screwdriver, tamp or punch
Mallet
