It was the strut. I swapped em yesterday and went for a drive today, now the noise is coming from the left side.

DRIVEN said:If you have room or if the strut is out of the car you can use an impact gun. Just momentarily hit the trigger repeatedly until it's tight. If you don't have an impact you can grab the shaft below the top plate. Since the strut never fully compresses you can grab the shaft at the very top with some vice grips or pliers without worrying about seal damage. Just make sure it's as high as possible where you grab it.
