I tried the suggested fix as described in the Tommy L Garage video. Applying anti seize to the strut pinch bolt worked for about a day of driving but the noise returned. I ended up removing the whole strut assembly, applying anti seize to the strut collar and lower strut where the parts make contact. Re torqued everything with a new bolt to spec. Also made sure the whole suspension was under load while tightening. I've been click free for about a week. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I wish I could remember the bolt JIMBOO suggest. I think it was near the collar. But I dont remember. I just know I had the exact same sound and whatever video JIMBOO had posted pointing out which one to tighten worked for me.
Jimbooo What was the bolt you suggested to tighten under load that solved the clicking? Because your suggestion worked for me back in 17.

I can't seem to attach that video again though. It's only letting me upload pics for some reason. Here's a screenshot of the relevant bit. (Taken from under the car looking up towards the shocks)

Pinch bolt yes as pictured in diagram (5). But you will need to loosen that bolt then preload the suspension - see pic by using another jack to push it up for preload. Then you tighten the pinch bolt to 2 extra turns over recommended specs. Noise never came back for me after kw has.
