Default Strange noise coming from drivers front wheel

I have Bilstein PSS10's on my car. I have had them on for ~8 months and everything was fine when I first put them on my car.

I then had to raise the coilovers for winter and this noise gradually started. It has become more prominent while driving and sounds like either a squeak or some kind of metal clanking. (best way I can describe it). I have NOT lowered my car again because I want to figure out what this noise is first.

Here is a video(not the best) but you can kind of hear the noise

Starts at about 2 seconds in. It's hard to capture on video.

Anyone know what this could be?

Sorry I don't know how to embed :/

Take a rolling video, sounds to me (in the video) like you rubbed something. But take pictures of the setup too. ALso make sure everything is bolted down to proper torque settings.

It is a rolling video. I wasn't scraping. I was driving down a straight road with very small holes and dips.

I will have to see if everything is bolted down to proper torque.

Checked some of the screws and bolts. Turns out one of them was pretty loose. I tightened it a little bit and th noise virtually went away.
