Default Creak and crack noise?

After I got my Slave Cylinder recall done ive noticed that when I go over speed bumps, or hit the brakes hard the left front area near the wheel seems to make a cracking noise, I have loosened up my strut bar as well as tightened it and it still makes that noise. Any thoughts of what it might be? Im taking it in to the Nissan dealer Friday but maybe you all could help.

is it coming around the wheels or from the chassis? is it a sound that sounds like it could be coming from moving parts? or non moving parts?
Like could it be suspension parts. have you checked those? maybe check under the car or around the transmission, see if the people who did the recall left something loose?

It actually doesnt sound like its from a moving part, it sounds like when my old camaro had some bad bushings, but I only got 9,800 miles on the damn thing, the guy at Nissan said they didnt have to mess with the front suspension when doing the recall fix, that sounds like some BS

damn sucks man. have u gone under to see if anything looks obviously wrong? im thinking maybe they left something loose. they shouldnt have messed with the suspension, i understand the only thing they ahve to do is drop the transmission. maybe in the process they knocked something out or moved it out of place. is it coming from one side only or both sides of the car?

Seems to be associated with the left side mostly, hopefully they find something and that I dont have to pay out of pocket, under warrenty and I got their stupid "extra" warranty so I should be covered. Thanks for the help though, ill find out on Friday I guess.
