Creaking sound
 
So had a tire blow out on the highway and ever since I’ve been getting this popping/creaking sound in my front driver side wheel well. It happens mostly when the weight is shifting to the left side of the car (right turn, lowing off jack, , breaking, ext). I got under the car to see if there was anything major I could notice any play anywhere. Nothing that I noticed. Had my buddy moving the wheel seemed like the ball joints are fine (as far as I could tell). Tried lubin up metal on metal contacts, no change in sounds. Honestly, stumped. Any idea, advise, wisdom, anything??
Thanks in advance!

Strut bearing?

Did you disassembly/repair any part of the suspension when you had the tire blow out? Or literally, remove wheel, replace tire, reinstall wheel?

What suspension do you have?

Just now seeing these, my notifications mustve been off. I didn’t repair or disassemble, did consider it to grease metal on metal contacts but i feel like that wouldnt be permanent fix. There is an aftermarket suspension and lowering kit.
I had my car realigned recently to see if the tire blowing out through the alignment off. The guy says when you lower the car the suspension doesn’t have room so it’s goinv to make noise… I feel like that’s not the case

Not sure the exact suspension either, one of the only things I didn’t do myself. I’ll see if I can figure it out

aftermarket top hats installed?

I’d have to check they may be oem, if I remember correctly
