can someone give me an idea of what it could be!

Back in JAnuary I replaced upper/lower control arm ball joints and rubber bushings. Then had the front end aligned. I wasn't driving the truck much but did notice an occasional clunking. Immediately I thought I f'd something up, but after poking around I noticed the idiots at the alignment shop never tightened the drivers side upper control arm bolts! So the clunking is gone, but I still get a noise that sounds like it is coming from the front end just as the truck comes to a stop with the brakes applied.

If you really come to a hard stop I can hear the noise, then when you release the brake and start to roll again, you can hear it again. Like something gets loaded from the weight of stopping then shifts when you roll again.

Things I have tried are: disconnecting the front shocks and bouncing the front end, there are no noises at all and everything seems free. I replaced both U joints on the driveshaft. I checked the ball joints and all the bolts I removed to do the rebushing. The transm. mount isn't broke. I have had the fronts disk brakes off twice just double checking things. I am assuming its brake related only because it happens with the brakes applied.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The front end is so much tighter now, but the noise makes it sound like crap.
