Default bump/knock coming from pass suspension area when making sharp left turns

i here a knock bump coming from the passenger side of the suspensio when making a u turn or turning around in a coldasack only when turning left though.

ball joint? radius rod? bad steering rack? just replaced both tie rod ends. about to replace sway bar end links

also did a roh conversion. steering wheel is cocked when driving straight but it doesnt pull to either side when moving

If its a continuous knock or clicking sound that continues repeadetly till you return the steering wheel then my guess would be a bad cv shaft.

its a continuous knock that only occurs with steering wheel all the way/almost all the way to the left during a turn. the knock intervals are about a second apart. ive had axles go bad because of clicking cv joints but this is not the same sound as that.

i think i may have missed a piece when reinstalling the passenger radius rod. the passenger side bolt on the radius rod tightens much further then the drivers side. ive never removed both tie rod ends and radius rods and reinstalled them before. also there was a good bit of time between uninstalling and installing..what did i do guys

axle on the passenger side is new but.... when going from a dead stop though it pulls way harder on left then the right. i considering that i possibly damaged the axle when i pulled the car from the front to the back. passenger wheel was jammed due to axle rubbing on replacement bolts(wider) for the steering knuckle to hub/bearing assembly. any way to test the axle other then boot removal?


edit:been doing lots of research. im gonna attempt to do an alignment. still have not found any for sure steps or a write up on how to perform an alignment on a cb yet. i plan to replace the sway bar end links at the same time once i figure it out as ive read that they can cause a popping sound when turning and mine are definitely missing bushings
