Clunking/Tapping on passenger rear?

So I installed my exhaust today, and started driving to work, which is in my town thnk god, and started to here a loud clunking/tapping on my rar passenger side. It sounds as though metal is hitting metal everytime I hit a bump on that side. Anyone have any clue what it could be? I;m going to put it on a lift tomorrow and see, but any adivce would be nice. the only parts i took off were the wheels and disconnected the struts from the rear axle. I checked the strut in the dark and it seems tight, the only thing I can think of is that the spring didn't seat right when i put the strut back on....


thanks for the help
