Ryan,
I had problems with a "dry" U-joint (and "assembly")causing a similar scenario-in fact its time for me to look at mine again.
The TSBs also mention something similar but that is in the AWD or 4WD mode- and that suggests the front tire pressures being possibly suspect (iirc).

Ok, the ball joints and sway bar end links are new.
Now is the cluck the same as the sound you had before you changed these? If it's different, then I'd say it's not a problem with one of the new ball joints or end links. If it's the same sort of noise, then check those new parts out. You could have something that came loose or was damaged (there really are lots of forces applied to front suspension components) or you installed defective parts.
Rule that stuff out and move to other possible sources.
