Springs Shot? Shocks Shot?

Hey Guys,
I was driving around the other day and I am noticing a pinging sound every now and then when I drive over some bumps but not all. I am currently on stock spring and shocks. It is occuring on one side of the car not the other. Not sure whats going on. Any clue? Sorry that this might be a noobish question and I didn't have time for a search because I'm at work. Thanks for any info you can provide.
Matt

check for unseated springs or broken coils if it's a pinging sound as you describe. if it's more of a knocking sound then balljoints are more likely to be the culprit.

hit something lately? massive bump/pothole/curb or road debris?
