Default Suspension popping

Hey guys, recently did some strut rods and ride quality was improved at slow speeds, yet my suspension still sucks, KYB shocks maybe ? I installed them less than a year ago. I finally learned how to do alignments so I perfected my LS to drive like an arrow, yet when turning i still have a popping, both sides. I've been using dealer parts, so far I've done strut rods, lower ball joints, outer tie rods, (inner I used after market). I installed the tie rods about 4 months ago, and when doing an alignment my toe on RF was at -0.97 and my RL was even worse, could waiting so long cause the rods to wear out quicker which led to this popping i keep hearing ? Other wise car is running great and am truly glad I kept my LS. Here is me practicing alignments after hours.

here is a pic of the new LC as well

THIS located a vexing noise source very efficiently for me. Let's you isolate the noise source using clamp on microphones.

my popping noise was due to my front sway bar to body mounts being worn out causing a ratting noise over bumps.
