Ford: tin noise from under passenger side.

I been driving now about 30 miles after changing the timing belt,
water pump, front oil seal, and accesories drive belt. Suddenly at
40~50 miles speed I heard a clear empty beer tin crushing noise,
coming under the front suspension. First I thought someone left a
empty beer can or plastic water bottle under the passenger side carpet
and was looking every where there. Then the sound stopped as it
appered. I think the sound might be coming when the tires are riding
over rough surface of the road, you know the pits, pots and patchups.
Its wores on I-84 btwn Exit 21 and 20 especially on the ramp to 684
south. I heard this like once every time I was making a stop and turn
or rough ride over the ashpalt.

Could be the down side plastics, I couldn't put all the screws back
there cause some of them broke off when I removed that plastic shrouds
to fix the timing belt. Or it could be the front struts? I saw little
rip on the front strut rubber bushing when I was changing the timing
belt.

Apprecite any help.

have a friend stand on the hood and jump up and down while you look
underneath.
