Default Phb or lca clunk?

Hello, I been having some suspension issues for the entire summer. When i slow down and turn into say a parking spot there is all sorts if binding going on. I don't hear that much when i accelerate and turn, its only when decelerating, like when I go in and out of the driveway. I don't know if its the panhard bar or lower control arms? Oh yea, umi adjustable phb with roto joint and non adjustable umi with roto joint. Any suggestions is appreciated, thanks.

yes my root joints where pretty dry. i was using mobile suspension grease instead of marine grease. QUICK QUESTION when you put your root joints back together how tight do you screw the piece using the special spanner wrench?? when i pulled them apart they were like finger tight, which is what umi told me last summer was ok. i know there the experts but i think they should be tighter than that. what are your thoughts...

I just took mine down to snug. In my opinion "tight is tight too tight is broke." That is what my dad told me when I was like 7 so I've stuck with it ever since.

^thats not always true. over time, a bolt u tighten will get harder and harder to get out. corrosion and rust will make it even harder to get back out next time, plus u risk breaking the bolt, ripping the threads out, or stretching the bolt making it weaker.
