Default Front end popping really hard when I go across a speed bump

I lowered the car about 2k miles ago, I didnt change the shocks, but I didnt lower the car very much at all. I was going across a speed bump tonight and noticed a nice popping sound. The front end was just rebuilt this week at the dealership. Are my springs bad? It sounded like them... Ideas?

I had this problem too, but you would never guess the culprit...broken wheel stud

in your case maybe your shocks are blown
