s13 - 240sx hatchback - 1989 to be exact if it matters.Zeal function coilovers

There is like a "ball and socket" type deal on top of the front coilovers for sure, maybe the back too...??? I can jack up the front of the car and lift the tire up and down and that little "ball" is moving inside the "socket" it sounds horrible when driving...

WHAT SHOULD I DO????

I'm confused... where is the thumping coming from? what kind of thumping? Be a bit more specific...

Nope they are used... I have a call in to endless to see if a tech can tell me anything useful but they arent very prompt about returning phone calls... I was hoping to just tighten the nut on top and that fix the problem but it seems to be tight already...

I have a buddy of mine that's having the same problem with his zeal's. The pillowball on the top just bounces up and down when you hit bumps. I haven't looked at it much for him but told him i'd check into it.
