I think these ball joints were mentioned by 4.8isX5

If those are bad you should hear the clunk going over bumps or even when you come to stop even from rolling.It usually does it going either forward or backing up.

Were the tension strut's bushing pressed in properly,they are directional.Were they torqued under the load?

It's more pronounced post tie rod swap.
