maybe your suspension parts are worn out?
(ex: bushing, outter tid rod joint, dead shocks, etc.)

Loosen the bolts, then tighten them while there is load on them. Its because they go through the bushing that are rubber.

put some weight on the suspension when you re-tighten those LCA bolts. Just jack the car up, loosen the bolts, lower it a bit and then re-tighten.
