Default Knock in front end...

When I make a right turn I hear a knock sort of sound come from what sounds like the left strut area (sounds like the top). It always does it around tightish right turns especially if there's a bump or uneven pavement. Pissing me off big time, car feels like a pos when it's making noises. Not sure what to replace next...


Front end consisists of:
'03 Cobra control arms (new)
Steeda X2 ball joints (new)
H&R SS springs w/ Poly Isos (pretty new)
Tokico Illuminas
Steeda CC Plates

Sounds a lot like the sway bar issue I had in my old corolla.

Ive heard the same kind of thing on the right side of mine when I brake to a stop really fast and the back falls and the front lifts back up, or when Im reversing and stop. Its like a pop/snap from the right strut tower almost.
