Loud Popping Noise After Shock Install "please Help"

Just Installed My New Tokico Blues Over Nuespeed Sports, And During Turning I Hear A Loud Popping In The Driver Side Front Strut Assembly When I Turn.

That's Just One Problem,,, The Second Is That The Alignment Is Waaayy Off!!! The Wheel Is Turned About 45 Degrees To The Left When It Goes Straight, And Then When I Accelerate, The Car Jerks To The Right. Might Have Something To Do With The Slip Diff.

Now... For The Worst Part,,, Driving To School Today, On The Freeway My Car Started Making A "bumping" Feeling In The Front Left Strut/tire Section Of The Car. If I Let Off The Gas,, The Car Feels Like The Wheel Is About To Fall Off.. And I Know I Tightened Everything Onto My Car Tight Enough,,, But This Is Pretty Damned Scary! Espectially On Teh Freeway!.

Any Ideas Anybody Of What It Could Be? Those Who Did A Diy Spring/shock Set Up?

Thanks A Lot

did you index them (line up the arrow marks)? get an alignment afterwards? im sure you need a camber kit too.
