clunk issues
so got my new yyz springs installed a few weeks ago and everything was good on way home had a clunk. Took it to get aligned and have shop look at everything and make sure all tight which it was. Took to dealer for oil change over weekend and they couldn't figure it out. Took to local tire shop this morning and they called me and said the passsenger side strut is sheared off but the nut it still attached. Who knows how this happened but they said maybe the place that installed the new springs compressed it incorrectly and broke it? hmm weird
what do you guys think?

went to look at car last night and the whole top part is broken off...seems like maybe the shop that installed the springs didnt torque them and just used an airgun...not very happen but shit happens and ill get it fixed this week just a couple $$ down the drain

Glad to hear that you got the strut problem resolved. You might want to check the installation and torque on the other strut (if you haven't already done that). If they installed one wrong then they probably installed both wrong. You might save yourself the cost of another strut.
