Default Need help!

Recently there has been a wierd noise on my front right suspension. I am currently dropped on D2s and I've only had them since this summer. when I hit a bump, and it occurs sometimes, there is this wierd thumping noise that sounds like something is hitting my frame. So far i've taken a look to make sure everything is still in place and everything is bolted up tightly which everything seemed fine, however the noise is still there. Could it be my stabalizer, blown shock, or possibly a ball joint?

did you get an alignment on this setup? usually they can catch incorrectly installed setups when they simulate the motion to detect the camber/caster/toe imperfections. are there any traces of metal to metal contact where there might be? have you heard this noise since you dropped it or is it recently new?

honestly, it could be a lot of things, suspension has plenty of constant moving parts and its not that easy to troubleshoot a simple noise.

the impact may have caused damage and the gas in the shock may have leaked. I had a friend with this same problem on his Sti. Brand new coilover setup, had a similar sound.
