Default Right front upper ball joint sounds

As the title states, there is a loud "knock" sound on SOME hard bumps and/or turns. I've isolated the sound to be coming from the upper ball joint. What can be done, other than replacement, and have any of you encountered this as well? Its funny though, as i hear it most when i'm jacking that corner up to take a wheel off etc.

I already have a hunch that it was caused from suspension geometries created from the camber kit, mainly a binding concern. Oh yeah, my upper control arm does NOT hit the inner fender work, and there was no cutting/hammering necessary of the opposing inner fender lip for the current ride height.

I'm running 17x7 wheels, with 205/40/17 es100's, koni yellows, neuspeed race springs, ingalls +1.5-3 camber kit, just for reference purposes...

You know, I just dropped my GSR 1.25" and used Skunk2 front upper control arms. I get a bump every once in a while if I hit a dip while cornering. I figured the control arm was bumping the inside of the fender. Never thought to check if it's scratched or anything... I don't get any noises other than that. Are your strut assemblies tight?
