Alright, so I just bought this car 2 weeks ago or whatever and I'm starting to go through it and fixing the little things.

I just started getting an odd noise when turned hard right and moving or when I hit a speedbump/bump fast on the passenger side in the front. Big clunk on bumps, odd knocking sound or something when turned.

Here is the suspension setup, just stance gr+ pros. Collars are tight. New steering rack, tie rods, tie rod ends.

Alright, so the only thing that looked bad was the tension rod bushing:

Am I to assume both of these noises are directly the tension rod bushing, or am I going to be looking for something else too?

Thanks guys.

this may sound like a dumb question but make sure the brake line is secured to the coil over that cause all kinds of noise if it isnt just saying

It clips in there and it is. I bought kazama tension rods from a local shop today and should be getting them tomorrow/friday. Let's see if that fixes it all.
