Default Front end help

Hey.1984 C4...Im just looking for some ideas and opinions..Since I got this car 2 years ago ive had a problem in the front end..Going over bumps im getting a snapping sound of some sort. ..almost like the sway bar end links are binding..Now i have rebuilt entire front end except for the mono spring..new upper n lower ball joints..new poly bushings in upper n lower control arms and bushings in sway bar and end links plus shocks and outer tie rod ends..The noise is still there..and by the way its not squeaky bushings. .I also installed zerk fittings in the control arms for easy greasing. .Im just looking for some ideas and opinions where else to look..Oh and the pads under the ends of the spring are in good shape too..
Thanx..

Hood has 2 stops 1 on each side at cowl. No lube on bumper can cause a variety on sounds. A gap between hood and bumper rattle.
