Knocking when turning the wheel

Installed them correctly? One time I purchased and installed a left (driver) and a right (passenger) outer tie rods. The parts had stamped on them "left" and "right". I installed them without first matching the angle/bends to old tie rods and afterwards got a knock on the drivers side. It turned out the driver's side outer tie rod was labelled/stamped incorrectly. I returned the part for the correct angle and it solved the issue.

Control arm bushings? Did you check to see what's loose before throwing parts at it?

Repetitive knocking when turning, like an axle makes?

Could be the upper strut mount binding/slipping. I am assuming this is a noise that started after the lowering? Lowering springs? Are they indexed properly?
