Steering noise on a lifted 2018 4Runner

Guys,
I just got in Dec a 2018 SR5 4x4 and a local shop installed the Old Man Emu Heavy Duty Suspension with 285 BGF KO2 tires and Dobinsons Upper Control Arms. After several attempts of doing alignment at a local pepboys they finally were successful and 2 weeks later driving couple of miles the truck is making noises when in uneven surfaces. When backing up to park in reverse as I turn the steering wheel the lower left i heard a crunk noise like something is loose. Also heard a crunk when braking at low speeds.

Any ideas what it could be? It feels like its coming from the suspension or brake on the front left side. like something is loose.

thanks in advance

Gus

I bet it's the lower control arm adjusting bolts not torqued down correctly. Get down there with a long breaker bar if you can and make sure those puppies are tight.

Yeah....I would take it to another (different)reputable shop and have them re-torque all of your suspension parts...including your UCAs and LCAs. Good luck...it will be found.
