H&R drop, clicking noise from front camber arms?

I just recently installed H&R springs and I haven't driven the car too much because the car still needs alignment, and from my right fender I hear a clicking noise. I think its the camber arm hitting the fender I'm not sure.

I did a search and read thorough the SPC problem they had a while back but its only coming from one side. Do I need bump stops cause I didn't put any in when installing the arms and I do have the right part number I did check.

Should I fix this before getting alignment? or is this something else...

did you check to see if the sway bar end links are tight? also did you use those little washers they provided on each bolt. that sound might be caused by metal to metal contact.

Those nylon washers are there to raise the bump stop on the strut's shaft.

You must have left the ball joint top adjustment nut below torque spec (loose), and it was moving.
It's now tight, since the alignment tech must have torqued it.
You know it's 120 ft lbs!!

Camber wont raise car.
