Finally got the car up on a lift. Wasn't able to redlock the bolts this time around as that would've required me to remove the coilovers, but I was able to torque them up real tight and lubed the bushings.

FUCA's are now operating silently as well as the added bonus of tightened steering. Still get a weird crunching/groaning noise when I steer the wheel too far in either direction while stationary; I expect greasing the heim joint will help with that.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with how it's riding at the moment, I would say the NVH is near identical to stock. Thanks for your help!

 

Glad to hear it was just loose bolts as I had suspected. If they come loose again, try removing the bolts that connect the FUCA's to the fenders while the car is on the ground or just jacked up a bit with the wheels still touching so that you don't have to screw around with your coilovers.
