I posted it in a suspension forum but maybe any of you guys can help me out. There is a crazy noise coming from my front passenger tire when I go over a rough patch of road. It just started about two days ago. I did have a set of lowering springs installed about 3 weeks ago. I thought it might have been the hood prop loose, or maybe the plastic cowl between the hood and the windshield. No on both counts. Everything seems tight and installed correctly. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing the problem?

Does it sound like something is knocking on the cowl, if so it might be the top nut of the strut. I had that sound after doing my struts/springs and it ended up that I didn't tighten the locking nut on the top of the strut enough (kept spinning so I thought I couldn't tighten it more, but had to have the car at complete rest and tighten it up to the proper specs).

you could have a leaking strut does it sound like metal on metal?

Do you have an intake?

EDIT: Nevermind, you said the passenger side. I had some crazy metal knocking sounds coming from the front-left when my intake mount broke. But if the noise is coming from the front-right then I don't know.

Ok. It ended up being the nut on top of the strut. I guess after settling a bit more, it needed to be tightened. Well it popped the cap and tightened it up and now its all good. There was a good picture/description posted on my other thread. Thanks for all the help.
