I contacted SPL regarding this to verify I had them adjusted properly and was told the clunking was characteristic of spherical bearings.

You have to live with it. If someone asks you what that noise is put on your cool face and tell them it's your racing spherical end links.

Yup, from SPL themselves, it's the nature of spherical bearings.
