Default clunk at low speed?

So my front end has a noise but it has almost every thing new and factory.

It has new springs,struts,lower control arms ,lower ball joint , upper control arm assy ,outer tie rods , end links.

Two things aren't sway bar bushings , strut plates

Sway bar bushings look good and the noise is more toward driver . Also last night when I pull into the garage and turning wheel I could hear it creaking .

Lexus replaced the springs and struts but not the plates and rubber. Who would do that? Anyways I think I'm gonna change those unless anybody has another suggestion feel free to let me know.

Thanks

Curious to know as well as I'm about to do the same thing for the same reason.

I am having a similar problem, just looked at this thread, seems pretty promising since i just changed my front rotors/pads.

Rockauto.com has the KYB assy 42 a piece .

And I know people get bent out of shape when people don't get lexus parts but....some dealers don't always install factory parts . Some do and some just go to car quest or napa and charge you oem cost .
