Default H-Sport Bars clunking

I installed a set of H-sport bars on my stock suspension'ed 2000 S4 last weekend, and now I'm getting a lot of clunking while turning, and some even while turning the wheel. Also, during slow deceleration, it makes kindof a binding noise. Most of the noises come from the passenger side front. I jumped underneath it, and I can't see binding of any type.

I am planning to take it off and re-grease everything (even though I greased it the way the instructions said to), and check and retorque all the bolts.

Anyone have a similar experience? Does the extra strain on the suspension create weak spots in the existing suspension and connectors? Car has 87k miles.

Is it usually the bushing that hollows out on the c-arms? How can I check what is bad down there?
