Suspension knock

Installed lowering bolts on car now I have a knocking noise from right front, sounds like something is loose. Car is set at original height.Took off shock bolts and dropped lower ball joint to install bolts. Put back together and triple checked nothing loose.Any idea`s, would over tighting ball joint cause this?

what you are hearing could be a creaking sound from where the control arm and lowering bolt touch. I have fixed this problem with a little grease between the two
