Mine did the same thing on the right front. Took it to my tech and he put it on the lift, tightened everything up and put some spray on white grease between the top of the strut plate and tower. NOISE GONE! Hope this helps.

Tighten up your coilovers from the top bolt is my guess for an easy fix.

I use "Boeshield" T-9 instead of WD40, we service a lot of multi piont locking hurricane impact doors, the WD40 attracts dirt and gets gummy, the Boeshield is made by the aero company "Boeing", stays very clean, great for polishing stainless steel even cleans glass?? We can only purchase through West Marine and now I hear Home Depot carries it?
http://www.boeshield.com/ great for cleaning electrical and preventing build up. FWIW
