Default Suspension clunking

I just recently revamped my 1999 s70's suspension with ipd springs, bilstein tc's, new cv axles, new tie rod ends, control arms, ipd hd endlinks, strut bushings and mounts and i am having a horrible clunking when backing out of parking spaces. I have been able to simulate the noise when bouncing the car up and down on the drivers side. Also when the car is jacked up I can grab the springs and move them around by hand.

I am at wits end trying to figure out what is making this noise occur. Any ideas?

Are you springs seated properly? Is everything tightened down as far as it should be?
