    Default chinkling noise from front wheels?

    ok when driving theirs a wierd "chinkling" noise that comes from my front wheels, the only way i can explain it is someone continuously dropping a large metal chain on the road, it makes the noise when i ride over bumps,
    the front shocks are ****ty, something to do with that?

    Link pin washers - they connect to the sway bar and strut.
