Bad knocking Noise Driver side when going over bumps and potholes
Recently my car started making weird noises by the driver side it sounds like its some bushings for example maybe sway bar bushings, control arm bushings, and my steering seems loose too so I probably have to change the idler arm bushing. I thought I have to replace the front control arms but, I read that they never fail. I just recently lowered the car on vogtland sports and original spring pads, might have to change them and get a different size. And replaced the shocks with bilstine sports. I also replaced the whole tie rode assembly and steering damper. So I was wondering if the problem Im having is bushings? Im thinking of ordering all the bushings, control arm bushings,sway bar buhings, rear support arms, idler arm bushing, traling arm bushing, control arm ball joints. Anything else im missing out?

Front bushing on that side for sure. Worth looking also at the sway bar bushes too
