Well always go back to the problem when it started. I got back under there again to check the tie rod end nuts and they were tight. So I grabbed all the wrenches again for all the arm work I did and started going back through all the bolts I had removed to install the new arms. On the shorter arm (in the image above)on the front right I had at least 50-75 ft/lbs on it but when I really gave it some muscle, it began to turn. I mean it was tight but I was able to get 1/2 turn on the nut with as much pull I could get with a wrench and limited workspace (car on ground). I took it out for a spin for 20 minutes and no noise no matter what I did. I had been out running errands an hour previously and heard it several times and went through the same motions as before with no knocks. It may take a couple of days before I can say I solved it but I am encouraged.
This is where I might say FAIL on my part.
