camberkits+coilovers = noise on dips?

Hi all, I'm getting a weird metallic sound on my passenger front whenever I hit a sharp dip.

The sound is very synonomous to running over a loose manhole or metal grating (which I often think that it is, but realize there was nothing to run over).

I have spc front camber kit and tein basic coilovers. I checked the top screw under the hood today, and they are still strong and tight.

I'm thinking it's the camber kit; how can I check for sure or adjust so that it does not make noise? =/

the bolt on top of the camber kit may be hitting your shock tower. look around where your strut is in the engine bay and see if there are any dents on the chassis.

No dents from what i saw. Visually everything looks fine in the engine bay.

Also, it's not a metallic clanging sound. (like metal striking)

It sound more like a jangling sound.
