Try to run the strut at various settings and report back your findings.
How are the rest of the rubber bushings on the front-end of the vehicle?
I can't be 100% certain as I am diagnosing this over the internet with supplied information.
Good luck.

Koni are known for a good ole rattle/clunk with compression and rebound turned down. Turn the knobs a bit, drive around and it will disappear.

Thank you both
I turned the rebound up another 5 clicks so that's a little over halfway. Seems to have improved things a lot. Still some noise, but it was very quiet on my commute home. I can live with it as long as it stays this way. Ride has also improved

On a related note, I believe I am starting to get noise from inside my own original front struts dammit. Replaced front strut upper bearings, noise still there.
Again, this is very hard to diag over the internet and not hands on.

I appreciate your help! You're probably listening to things too much now!
