Question Suspension clunk in 'repaired' 1998 V70

This weekend I replaced the front strut assemblies, control arms, outer tie rod ends, and sway bar end links on my '98 V70. I used all new fasteners where recommended and believe I followed proper torque spec numbers. But, now I have a clunk (that I can feel in the car) on both sides when I hit a dip. By 'dip' I mean not all bumps, but when the bump is a drop. For instance, my driveway drops about 2" down where the pavement starts. Driving off of that causes the clunk, but not driving back up onto it. I got back under the car and verified the torque of the newly installed fasteners, but to no avail.

It's all pretty simply under there, but I can't figure out where the noise is coming from? Would anyone have any advice on where to look? Thanks.
