Default Thumping noise

I have Tokico shocks/struts on my '06 GT. When I drive the car I hear a thumping/rattling sound from the front passenger side. I bottomed out the adjustment and backed off two turns, but I don't think the problem is the adjustment, because it happens no matter where I set it. Jacked up the car thinking it was loose exhaust, but it's not. Is much more noticable when I hit a pot hole as opposed to a bump. All body kit fasteners are tight, as are the break calipers. Removed the front wheels, but all is correct. I'm stumped...

check to see if the brake pads sit tight on the caliper studs mine chatters a bit when i go over bumps and it stops when* the brakes are pressed slightly and check tour ball joints for loosness it could also be the wheel hub and bearing assembly
