Default Installed Buddy Club N+ and ....................

I installed the buddy club N+ Dampers and the drop is perfect. I measured all wheels and they are all at the same height.
Now when i drive the car and if i hit a bump or a pot hole, i hear some kinda weird noise just from the front left wheel.
What it can be ?
I still have to get my fenders rooled but the noise is coming from just one wheel. First i thought may be the coliover was loose, but then i checked it and it looked good to me. Then i thought may be its rubbing against the body but then again, its just coming from ONE side and all sides are equal height.
Please let me know what can i do as the noise is ANNOYING ! ! !

Not sure you understood the question. You're supposed to preload the suspension before you tighten anything up. Otherwise the bushings may be in a bind.

Oh yeah, i did that. The installation was perfect. the forst fw drives i did not hear anything. Its just after 4-5 drives i started hearing that noise. Is it becuase the coils are settling down and now the tire is rubbing against the car body ?

Is the spring preload the same on the fronts? Maybe the springs are loose on full droop?
