Default the mystery clunk

i just completed replacing lower a arm bushing ,tie rod ends, and lower ball joints. now when cold i get a very good clunking noise from the front end. the bushing were from vbp poly / graphite. i can not duplicate the noise by bouncing the front end and is audible only when cold and some times turning when cold . the suspension feels great a huge difference and all bolts and nuts are tighend to correct torque when the suspension was put back to ground level.
any ideas? thanks

Make sure the bushings have not pushed out of the lower shock mount.
