Hi guys, I need your advice on a problem I'm having....I got an alignment done, and now when I turn the wheel all the way to the right and go in reverse, I can hear a pop/clunk that wasn't there before. I can only hear the sound when moving at parking speeds, never on the freeway or during regular driving.

The sound sometimes happens when going forwards, I'm inclined to climb under the car and figure it out, but I'm at a loss as to what it might be.

Above is my alignment specs. I specified -2.0 Camber, and 1/8th inch toe out, as I enjoy auto-x. I am somewhat reluctant to go back to the shop, as they were somewhat skeptical of my alignment specs.

What do you guys think?

Ah, I forgot to mention that I have J&M caster/camber plates. They actually were having some trouble, I had to tell them to loosen the 4 bolts on the mount and then they could slide the strut.

I was recommended the settings by Mr. Strano, between that and the toe out, the car is slightly twitchy at speed, seems to tramline more, but goddamn, am I smiling when the road curves. :D

I have a auto-x to attend on Saturday the 19th, I am going to go and check all fasteners for tightness tomorrow night. Would you get a pop/clunk noise if the top 4 bolts that hold the strut mount aren't tight enough? I will also check my tie rod locknuts to see if they're tight.
