Default Clunking noise after SFC install

Just as the title says....

I installed UMI's 2 point bolt-in round SFCs this weekend. Whenever I go over a sharp bump (think pothole or curb), I hear a loud clunk from the rear end.

After a search here on LS1 tech, I'm thinking I didn't tighten the LCA bolts tight enough. Would this really be the cause? Could it be anything else?

Thanks in advance.

I think that you've got it figured right.

There should be a torq spec on those, pretty sure anyway. But that it definatlely the problem.
