So I installed my bilstiens set at 2.8 on my 2012 sport about 3 months ago. I have been hearing some bumping up front and took the wheels off to check everything and re-torque and make sure I was not having any issues. It appears the lower control arm is impacting the hub (I think that's the part name, where the brakes and rotor mount) when I turn to full lock and hit a bump. I have some photos below. Any ideas what caused this to impact and what could the additional bumps I am hearing be caused by.

I am not too worried about where it has been bumping at a turn, I was just surprised as in all of the bilstien installation walk throughs and reviews I had not heard of this happening to anyone. Any ideas? What else can I check on what could be loose or bumping up front when going straight being all bolts were nice and tight and everything appeared to be in place when I looked.
