i recently installed air suspension on the car and have had zero issues for the past two months. i got an alignment done a couple weeks ago and noticed a click or knock noises from the suspension when turning soon after the alignment. my mechanic told me that my sway bar bushings were shot and needed to be replaced but after confirming with him now, he heard no noise when turning the car when he did the alignment. it only happens when i’m at ride height and backing up into a parking spot. and only when i turn the wheel to the right or passenger side fully locked. would this be simply because of the sway bar bushings or does it sound like something else?

Based on the verbal description, I would indeed confirm that is a noise.

Now, if a video was posted that would help us not only visualize from your description, but also allow our ears to hear it and our brain to associate it with something contained in our one brain cells.

It is possible that the wheel is hitting something at full lock
