Default Something loose?

2010 f150 4x4. Not sure if this has anything to do with yhe issue but Did a level kit install and few months back and now I'm getting a what sounds like a loose washer pinging when I hit a bump in the road. Coming from front right wheel/tire area. I shook the front end down and everything appears to be tight. Information pretty vague I know but anyone else experienced this same issue? I can only replicate sound while vehicle is moving and hits a bump in the road.

Make sure the nut on the very top of the coil spring is tight, they didn’t tighten mine enough and I was getting a clunking sound, couple extra turns on that nut and problem solved.

Check the sway bar end links on the front end.

You need to upload to youtube or something and then put a link to the video. This forum doesn't take videos directly.

How exactly did you install the level kit again?

And yes, don't upload videos to the site, upload to youtube and then link here.
