Default SPC Front Arms noise?

Just installed from arms yesterday, when braking there is a rotating noise that sounds clunkie. If I apply the brakes lightly the noise will not happen, but anything with force brings the noise back.

At first I thought it was brakes, but after taking the wheel off again it appeared to be the top adjustable bolt. Tightened that down but the noise is still there. Any clue? Hoping the alignment tomorrow will fix it but not sure.

I've checked for contact points, thats not the issue. Called SPC and they have never heard of this issue.

The garage of me.

As of last night the noise has been located. It is not A-arms related. My HFC's cracked.
