Default Problems need help

I just got my DS-3's mounted the other day and now when the car sits for a while (seems like when it cools down) and I cut the steering wheel to full lock either way and move about 5-10 feet I hear a loud clunking/popping noise that seems to eminate from the front of the car also you can see that the front of the car moves when it gives or pops. I have gotten on my knees to see if anything on the wheel is rubbing at full lock and I cant see a thing. Funny thing is when the car warms up it goes away until the next time i start the car cold. As said before the tires dont show any marks on them from rubbing and it only does this when pulling into or backing out of my parking spot first thing in the morning. Anyone have any ideas as the where or what I should look at.

The alignment my be slightly off, and the treads are sort of slipping across the pavement, The DS3's have a very appearent diagonal tread cut that may be grabbing and letting go in a funny fashion . . .
