clanking noise, passenger side

..so I've searched the forums, can't find any real info on what this could possibly be. The past week or so I've had a clanking noise coming from the passenger side engine bay area, ONLY when I go over bumps, any stranger yet, it is a reverberating clanking almost like when you hit those springy door stoppers with your foot. "boyeeoheeoheeng" but in a clanking sound. haha, I have megan lowering springs, been in for over a year, never had an issue. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Look into the passenger side axle, strut, or CV joint.

Strut or top hat prob.. Check the struts to see if they are leaking. Get different springs for the stock struts (GTworx & SWIFT). Also check to strut top-hats, to see if there is still grease packed in there.

Hit the bottom of the tire with a hammer while on the ground and jacked up. Good chance it will repeat the noise if its in the strut.
