What brand did you use? Some users have reported clunking noises after using monroe quick struts.
Did you replace strut upper mounts too? Were all the bolts properly torqued?.

Where was your car wrecked at?
Is there any chance the upper strut mounts might have been damaged? Take a look at where the strut shaft meets the mount, this is where they normally crack and start making noises.
