Default suspension help ASAP!!

ok so basically about a month ago I installed new springs, my friend broke the front driver side endlink so we finished the install and I ordered an endlink from Advanced Auto Parts, I noticed the endlink from Advanced is much stronger and bigger than then OEM, so I put on the advanced endlink and ever scince I've been guetting a loud CLUNK on the front driver wheel, I've tried everything from checking the spring position to making sure I tightened all the bolts, so yesterday I ordered another Endlink from Advanced to mach the aftermarket, after putting it on the damn noice is still there. anyone have a clue?

First off, what type of car do you have? Secondly if it is a Subaru, you should repalce it with either an OEM endlink or a high quality aftermarket version, ie, Cobb, Perrin, Whiteline, etc.
In order to preven clunking, you need to grease the shit out of all bolts and bushings.

yea make sure the hole in the Autozone end link is not bigger than the hole in the orig endlink. Otherwise you will get the clunk from the endlink moving, due to the play in holes.
