Default LCA clunk?

well after doing a couple "break in the suspension" burnouts, i started to get a clunk.

when i would roll out of the burnout and put the car in reverse and barely start moving back, it would make a deep CLUNK from the rear pass side.

the LCAS have black bushings and i think UMI put rubber ones in them. so i dont know if the rubber ones bind up.

and they are greased thoroughly from the bracket install. sides of bushings and fitting.

Both the black bushings and red bushings we use are polyurethane. I think the noise is the control arm bolts not being tight enough, try added some addtional torque to the control bolts and it should cure the problem.
