Default Popping / clunk in very slow speed corners

Parking, etc., hear and somewhat feel a click coming from the front. Don't notice at higher. Tracking straight, not pulling, etc.

Thoughts?

What sway bars do you have? Any suspension work recently done?

Are you using camber plates? I would have another shop check the work on your JIC/Cross install. I broke a PSS10 because of a poor install.

Perhaps a sway bar link or the brake pads shifting up and back in the calipers.

Might also be the "stick-slip" situation between the springs and the hats or perches.

I think what Steve's referring to is that the springs tend turn a little with some compression, this binds and then turns on the perches. There are needle bearings to try to prevent this (with some effect) that some installers use.
Aftermarket sway bars can often shift in the sway bar mounts that can also cause clunking.
