Default Help with Teraflex Lower Control Arm Noise after install

Thanks for looking and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I installed my front lower control arms on my 07 Unlimited today and now have a very large clanking noise (more like cla-clunk) from the drivers side when i am going over bumps. The noise is much more noticeable at speed and was happening again and again on the highway during my drive home.

I set the arms to 23 1/4in and have the gold side to the axle. Everything was torqued down to 125ft/lbs and when i crawled under the jeep was not able to physically move anything myself that would be the obvious culprit.

Was i suposed to use the factory bolts for the reinstall? I assume i was but could the issue be that there is play between the CA and the factory bolts? I really am at a loss.

thanks in advance..

Did you torque to 125 ft lbs?

Make sure those jam nuts are tight. Mine came loose once and were rattling around.
