Popping noise when turning

I just installed some umi lower control arms and i notice when i am going 20 to 30 mph and turn the wheel left or right i hear a popping noise from the rear. I didnt have access to a torq wrench so i just got them real tight. Has anyone had this issue before? Thanks in advance

Try to find a torque wrench, this is very comin when not torqued correctly.

Also did you have the suspension loaded when you tighten the bolts?
