Default Popping noise from front suspension when driving

I just re did all of the front suspension on my camaro, I also did Koni shocks paired with bmr lowering springs. After driving about 50miles it randomly got a noise up front. It’s like a popping noise, not quite a clunk. It gets more rapid as you’re going faster. Right before it happened I was on the interstate and hit a decent sized bump. I don’t believe it gets louder when hitting bumps. It also has new SKF wheel huh assembly’s. I didn’t have time to get it up on a lift to check everything over yet. For the record I did not get it aligned yet. The toe is fine but the caster is off a little. I’m getting it aligned tomorrow. Any input would be appreciated because I can’t think of much.

Yea I believe so, I’ll put it up on a lift tomorrow and double check everything and do an alignment. Im also going to check u joints. There the original with 90k miles on them. Coming back from work now and it sounds like it’s maybe coming from the driveshaft.

Could be a lot of things to be honest. A good look over the lift will point you in right direction. Let us know how it goes.

yea I’ll definitely post what it is. It’s more of a thumping noise. I have a feeling it’s the front suspension because that’s all I touched and it didn’t do it before. Although it could really be anything.

Well I figured out what it was. Somehow I overlooked the lug nuts and they backed out a little. I ran them down with the impact and completely forgot to torque them. Luckily I caught it before the wheel fell off. I guess I’ll never forget that now
