Hey guys, please help, my strut is making a knocking sound

I am going to try and find the problem soon, im really busy. My right front suspension is making a knocking sound when i hit even small bumps. I put in a tokico blue on both sides but only one is making this noise that sounds like something metal is loose. I didnt take apart everything like the hub and brake or whatever, i just pivoted out the whole strut assembly and put in all new tokicos and S/T springs..... please help i dont know what to do and it's really annoying... God bless

Could be the sway bar is hitting on the frame. That's what it was on mine at least... hope this helps some, even if its just another possibility.
And God Bless you too man.

I have the same problem on my drivers side, theres a new tockico illumina in there

The only thing I can think of is that the strut is reblown or something else is hitting on bumps.
