UPDATED Can't Figure Out

Recently refreshed my entire suspension on my z4c minus inner tie rods. Car drove great and I took it in for its alignment. About 100 miles or so after the car now makes a clicking noise and feeling in the front left. Does it only when driving over large bumps/humps or applying brakes, never when just driving. I've taken everything apart multiple times trying to see what the issue is with no luck. Also the more I drive the worse it gets. That makes me think brakes or bearings but both seem smooth. Inner tie rods wouldn't possibly do that?

Any ideas would be a huge help!

The sub frame reinforcement plate bolts were loose on the drivers side. Tightened and all is quiet and well again.

Check sway bar end link nuts are tight.
Need a thin wrench to get to the hex between the rubber boot and the rod to hold the stud as you tighten the nut.
