Default help!!!

hey guys just got my ball joints replaced the other day. and tonight I noticed a popping/clunk noise coming from the passenger side behind the tire. I could make the noise if I push down hard on the car. I hope this isn't an expensive problem. please help. thanks

Could be in-properly installed ball joint, or other severly worn suspension component. Is there any play in the wheel?

the noise just stopped after driving for a about 10 miles. maybe it just needed to settle in. I'm gonna re tighten the bolts to be safe. thanks

Thats interesting once the crown nt is torque down it shouldnt settle again unless there was something obstructing between the spindle and the balljoin not allowing it to seat properly why the crown nt was being torqued.
