maybe its the CV joints....lol..jk, I would take it back to the shop and tell them it wasnt doing this before they worked on it. The only thing that comes to mind is loose fasteners.

Did you torque the lower ball joints? I didn't when I did the mine, and I had some clicking issues.

Another angle ... just got my springs re-wrapped or skinned or sound-proofed, according to my dealer. The front right was making quite a racket on compression aka bumps. No "bad" sounds now.
