Hello, I have a clunk or slight pop as the car returns to straight after turning, mostly at slow speed on city corners and in parking lots. I put the car jacks last night and did an inspection of the rear suspension. Everything appears correct and no components appears loose or out of alignment. The only thing I can find is the drivers side rear spring is not flush with the upper mount and thus has 1-2 mm of play in it. See pics below. Bently Bible has only simple instructions for removal/installation of spring. Is the gap in the pic below normal and irrelevant once rear axle gets loaded? The lower spring mount is tight and looks correct on both driver and passenger side. The upper spring mount on the passenger side is flush with the spring.
