    E38 740iL Clunk when steering while parked after new front sus + lowering springs

    Hello. I've completely overhauled my front suspension and used b&g lowering springs with Bilstein Touring struts. I used new strut mounts. Now, especially when turning at slow speeds I'm getting a metallic clunk like two metal parts hitting against each other. It seems a lot of people that have used lowering springs have had the spring top shift against the strut mount causing a similar sound. I don't see my springs move and skip against the strut mount. Any suggestions? Sound is heard in the video.
