What do you mean "I changed my mounting"?
What is "the absorber side of the car"?
You may want to check the torque on the wheel lug nuts. The specification was changed a couple of years ago to 108 lb-ft, I believe. The purpose was to stop "snapping noise" when turning at low speeds.

Ok guys i did a full check today i found the sound. it was from my absorber spring.
all of this is due to the vibration of bad mounting. causing things to nuts on the absorber to rattle, spring was slidely displace.
solution: my mechanic turn the spring to its original posiition (matching the brakets). tighten all the screws on the absorber. put grease on the contact point between the spring and lower braket. sound is gone when u place everything back.
