Thinking about getting this 97

Since installing my front LCAs, in addition to the clunking which I still hear from the front which I believe are either the (less likely) end links or sway bar bushings, but in addition to that clunking, I also hear a "crunching" sound. I believe both sounds are related, and I believe that the crunching sound are the frame to LCA bushings.

I think that nut isn't tight enough, or maybe too tight, or does it require any lube / grease (because I didn't put any) and is what's causing the crunching sound.

What are your guys' ideas or thoughts on this?
 
Crunching noises I only experienced from those nuts/bushings between K-member and those forward rods. What are they called again? Rods between K-member and LCA? Somebody help me.

Anyway, if you just spray some silicone spray onto those bushings, and the noise disappears temporarily, then you have isolated the issue.

Did you torque the lower control arm to frame bolts with the car at ride height or with it up in the air?

In the air, but placed my jack and raised the arm a little bit to simulate it being on the ground, because there's no way I can get under my car and still access all the suspension nuts and bolts.
 
Front and rear lca and ucas, the shocks at the lca, and the strut rods.
All these have bonded bushings that will hold that torsion, and it screws with the suspension.
