Default Replaced front end control arms, now weird clicking sound.

Bought a Vaico front control arm kit from ECS which included all front control arms, sway links, and tie rod ends. Ended up replacing the passenger side inner tie rod, both rotors, bearings, and upgraded brake hoses to stainless. Now I'm getting a weird "clicking" sound when I'm correcting back to the right after a left turn, coming from the right side. It's just one solid click and doesn't sound or feel very good. Any ideas?

Go back and check the torque on every bolt or nut you had to loosen or reinstall.

Checked all nuts and bolts and everything appears fine. I did notice when the front end is raised I can rotate one wheel independent from the other by a couple degrees. I've no idea what that means or if it's normal.
