Did you tighten the drop links fully, are the springs settled in there cups, have you put bolts in the top mount which are too long (stops top mount from rotating with the shock) wish bone bolts all done up? wheel bolts on correctly?
Just a few ideas

Is the spring seated properly? If it's not sat in it's correct position it can cause a klunking.
While car is stationary, turn wheels lock to lock. This will give you a better idea.
