Ksport help please

Hi guys, I installed my ksports about 2 months ago, and just a couple days ago my front right is really gone bad. When I go over manhole covers, not even large bumps, it really bangs hard and is very uncomfortable. The drivers side is not making any unusual sounds or harshness, but the passenger side is brutal. Even over speedbumps I am noticing the passenger side is much harsher, and sounds like it slams down as I pass over....

When the car is parked I push hard on the front passenger side but I don't notice any softness, it still feels firm. The car is not dropped very far, I adjusted the bottom perch so I had enough clearance to handle speedbumps and bad roads without trouble.

I am a noob and I don't know what to look at first... Could the strut have gone bad? The weather turned ugly the same day I noticed this and I haven't looked under the car yet. Just looking for some advice.

Any unusual noises coming from suspension? Make sure that all 4 shocks are set to the same setting, inspect pillow-ball mounts for cracks and retighten everything.
