Default Front End Noise

Changed front struts/springs and rear shocks. Since then, have a noise when I hit bump/bumps sounds like from front end. Had to disconnect the tie rods to get front struts out. Any ideas what could be causing the noise?
Thanks for your help...

if you never left anything loose, then could be a ball joint or control arm bushing, sway bar link. ??

Had a noise problem that took awhile to for me to locate. Looked at all the wrong crap, ball joints, tie rods, turned out to be the sway bar links. Whole front end needs replacing but those were my noise makers.
