Default Klunking noise in the front of the car, came after sway installation...HELP!

When i am driving at slow speeds ie: 5-20mph i occasionally hear a "klunking" noise coming from what seems to be the front end. this is mostly brought on by bumps...

as you may or may not know, i just installed h-sport sways, and i never heard this noise before installation...

i looked under the car, and saw nothing obvious. There was a broken club attatching the hose closest to the front sway bar, but i repaired it, but the noise is still present.

I will take into the dealer on monday if i cannot figure it out, any ideas? suggestions? Cheers!

Default I experienced clunking sounds from the rear H-Sport sway... more

After inspecting the back end I found that one of the end link bolts had come loose causing the bar to wobble and twist when going overbumps.

I could tell it was the rear because I could isolate the sound on rear bumps only.
