Default Front Left Knocking when cold?

I've recently noticed that when I get into my car, on cold start up, there is sometimes a noticeable clunk coming from the front left, that seems to dissappear after the car has warmed up, it seems to happen whenever you hit a small bump, but, as I saw once the cars warmed up I dont hear it as much if at all.
My cars lowered and has 18s but these have been on while so I dont think its a direct cause of them being installed?

Has anyone else ever experienced this or any ideas as to what it might be?
Im going to get a mechanic to double check everything is tight suspension wise, I hope its not anything major

Thanks for any advce

The air pump is located in the area of the front left wing outside of engine compartment. This is only used when the car is cold to inject additonal air into the combustion chamber for emissions control. Might be worth a look as location & situation match.
