coilovers making noises?

This has been a problem for most prelude owners. Many people claim they have that "shock knock" problem or once they install new struts, they hear knocking sounds. I know this is really frustrating. You may not believe this or you may, but just wanted to let you guys know. I have gone over this before but just keep in mind that it could be this:

Maybe you guys dropped something into the gap in the trunk area. That happened to me once which I had a wrench extension fallen and everytime I cornered, I heard a clunking sound. Once I took out that extension, no more noises. I hear so many people complaining about noises. It could be the "shock knock" thing but be sure you guys check the trunk area for you might have something fallen into that gap in the trunk right next to the back of the rear seat. I'm almost 100% sure you guys dropped something in there. This happened to my other two friends with preludes as well, where I removed it and NO MORE CLUNKING SOUNDS!

Actually, the rear suspension noise is a service bulletin from the dealer. Meaning they are not going to recall this problem but they know about it. I seen it in Alldata.

Yeah, I fixed my problem with the new TSB and it seems to help. It uses to clunk all the time now its so infrequent I don't even notice it anymore.
