'03 front end trouble

Hi,
I have a '03 4x4 super duty with front end trouble. I just replaced the callipers, pads, shocks, and drivers side ball joints. And now the front end feels like it has accessive vibrations, frequent wandering on rough roads, and a occasional clunking noise and feeling when I make slow turns while hitting bumbs. I don't know if it could be from tires, steering linkage, ect. I tried to describe things as best as possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'am hoping to fix the problem without sending it in and spending over what my budget allows.
Thanks,
Todd

Just replaced my sway bar bushings and end links because I had a rattle in the front end. Seems to have worked well. Also how's the steering dampner?

The Energy Suspension sway bar bushing kit mentioned in the previous post is available from NAPA and is SuperDuty specific. It made a big difference on my truck.
