knocking noise front left?

Anyone has this issue while turning or stright at slow speed (1 to 20ish kmh ), there is a metal knocking sound coming from the front wheel axle like something loose?
just suddenly happend, i changed my springs a month ago eibach prokit, and put the eibach bolts for the alignment , im at 1.3 all around
Hope that someone can share some experience.
( brought it to the dealers they checked and found nothing reasons ...lol ... it didnt fit on there lift....)
so right now the wheel is off ....and everything seems tight top 3 bolts,top shock bolt,2 bottom one pads seem fine changed those 2 moths ago (ceramic hawks)
4 months ago the same side as the sound driver side table was changed

i just started noticing this same issue. I can feel it knocking thru the floor pan. What plastics are you talking about? Just the stuff in the wheel well?

so i just came back from the dealler with no luck .... one of the tables was changed ...
so the sound is still there ...
when i got i got 2 bolts from eibach to inline it better( so they said and keep the inline better)
so i was inspecting my car like i always do when its on a lift and i notice that the side that makes the most racket(noise) had the bolt ( ebaich ) and the other side still had the stock ones on
WHAT THE %^&* !!!???
i called the place that did my alignment but there closed until the 8th of march .....
( i was told that, that place was the best in montreal...... anyways)

You neab the top studs that hold the shock to the chassis? 1 of the 3 studs? No need for new shock. You can knock the stud out and weld a bolt in there and you're good to go.

Anyone find a solution to this let me know as well, I have the same noise from the front right. Starting to think it's a control arm bushing or something of the sort.

I think your cvj/ axles could be bad.
