When i first started getting this sound, i found a thread where someone suggested tightening the top nut on the coilover, which i found was pretty loose, so i tightened it. The sound went away, but now its come back. I cant really tighten the top nut any more cause it wont move. can it be too tight?

he obviously has had the top nut loosen on him, yes? Since you can't torque a strut nut without holding the shaft fixed, a light application of impact is a good way to snug the nut. Notice I did not tell him to get the biggest impact he could find and torque the piss out of the thing till the piston shaft spins like a top...
If you have a reliable DIY method to grip the piston shaft without damaging it, please post it so we can use your method next time.
