Can you let us know what you used to level it? Did you install?


See how it is after the alignment. Maybe something wasn't tightened.


More info is always better.

Does the noise sound like metal on metal clunking?
If so, something is loose. Probably sway bar links.

Kidding, I always end up with one extra nut / bolt after I do some work, so I know how it feels...

Did you accidentally pull to hard and separate the cv joint from the sleeve. I fell backwards and did that installing my fox coilovers and had to cut the clamp and put all the ball bearings back together and reclamp it lol it sucked. Oops just realized you fixed the problem
