Car making a groan/clunk sound when I start to roll forward

When I start my car after it's been sitting for more than 5 minutes and I roll forward, I get an annoying groan or clunk when I begin to turn the wheel. I have strut bars, RSB, Eibach/Tokico, and all my suspension components were recently replaced. The car is not out of alignment, and I tried removing my FSTB to no avail. I'm so sick of this car.

When your Eibach/Tok setup was installed did you check or replace the Strut bearings and Isolation sleves?

Did you check the condition of the upper strut mounts?

Did the installer put the upper spring perch in the correct position, the word OUT must face out and be in line with the lower strut mounting tab.

Power Steering?

Did you check the level of fluid in your power steering system?

ALL the suspension components have been replaced. Fluid levels are OK. Everything was installed and reinstalled correctly. I've never checked my CV joints.
