Unhappy Help: Toyota Camry 05 SE sound

Hi, I have a Camry 05 SE, when I take it for a ride and every time it hits a road bump, on the front right side there's a strange noise kinda like two flat metal thing hitting each other. I am not a mechanic so I have no idea what it is. This happens with road bumps. Also my steering wheel is a bit stiff and not as "light" as it use to be, could this be related to oil change? Transmission oil?

Thank you

What fluids were changed? Have you checked the power steering fluid level.

Known causes of this type of noise are the upper strut mounts, sway bar bushings or connecting link between the bar and steering knuckle failing. Typically these parts just make noise, they don't fail apart as in being a safety issue.
