Default Loud clanking noise...

The noise is coming from the driver side front, sounds like something to do with suspension. I recently changed the lowering springs on the car, no noises until today, i did realize that i have a bent tie rod causing a slight camber and a pull to the left. But what in the hell could that noise be, i have checked all bolts and everything is connected as should be, please help

If it's making the noise when accelerating then..... When turning outer CV..... When going straight or turning inner CV.....

Or there are front end bushings, strut plates, ball joints.....
