What tool do you use to tighten front strut insert nut? Oops move me to Garage., I have heard that when they back off a bit it can cause a bang Options

I am trying to hunt down a front end noise, a metallic sounding bang over bumps front right.

My suspicions are
A). Sway bar drop links
B) sway bar hitting tank
C) strut nut.

Normal tests seem fine, checking ball joint and tie rod ends.

Take a used strut collar or the one they gave you with new shocks of the style you wont use. Weld square section shaft key pieces into the spanner grooves to make lugs. Then weld a long bar to the ring for leverage. In use mate up with th old shock ring and engage square lugs you welded on and twist. For an in place sck you need to make it into a line wrench style. Pics are two thousand miles away. But this is worthless without em i know.
