Front Coil Springs Replaced now Massive Clunk

Well, my 1st post here since my '99 9-3 was totalled last month (127k mi). Good news is I got a decent payout from insurance as they took into account my recent repairs. So went off and bought an '03 9-3 with 128k mi in the Boston area.
Indy inspection revealed one of the front springs was cracked and he told me it was a recall item. Car handling did not show an issue and previous owner was also surprised about the finding.
Took the '03 for the spring replacement under recall. I picked it up after hours tonight and I get massive clunking on light or heavy bumps now.
Don't these dealers even test drive after such front end work?
What would cause this clunk after a coil replacement? Could the spring have shifted? If the strut mount failed, should the dealer take responsibility?
TIA
