Default HELP! Cranking Sounds after Install

HELP!!!!
So a few weeks ago, I installed the Swift Springs along with the SPL rear camber arms and got an alignment. A few days ago, whenever I reverse park and turn the wheel, I hear a cranking sound front the front whichever why I turn. Does anyone know what might be causing this or has it happened to anyone as well?
Thanks in Advance!!!

If it's happening mainly at the extremes (near full left or right), it's probably tire scrub.

Hopefully thats the problem! (Is that normal?)
Getting spacers installed soon, would that help it as well?

Yeah. Wide tires tend to do that, especially with a light car.

I don't know but will guess that it will make things worse. Try searching for "tire scrub" and/or "tire scrubbing".

Its when I fully turn the wheel to the left or right.
I turned the wheel once to reverse part and heard it for a split second, but not as bad as when its fully turned...Getting it looked at next week:/

I noticed this noise when the temps dropped below 40 degrees and I still had the factory Advans. I'm not sure what the temps have been in Louisville recently, but that could be part of the problem. Are your tires still stock size or did you go to 20s?
