Default popping noise after ls1 brake swap

just did a ls1 brake swap on a lt1. new spindles, pads, rotors, hubs, caliper slides and bolts. now when i turn left or right in reverse to drive i have a popping noise that wasnt there before the swap. all the bolts are tight the brakes have been bled. no problems when the car is moving over 20 mph. could the calipers be hanging up? any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Did you tighten your ball joint nuts when swapping the spindle? (upper & lower)

upper and lower ball joints are tight as well as the outer tie rods.

I know there is sometimes a length issue with the brake lines.

You aren't using your brake lines as steering locks are you?
