Default Clunking or clicking sound when hitting bumps??

Hey guys im a new member here but I would like to start off with a first question of the day/night. I got my 4.5" lift on about a year ago almost. I got new sway bar bushings. And everything seems tight. I just fabbed on new lower control arm brackets onto my frint axle cause my one Lower broke. Anyways. Before I get a front end alignment i wanna figure out what this noise is..when im driving and I hit bumps or potholes in the road, my driverside like clicks or clunks, sometimes shakes like im about to get the DW but then stops. What could be the cause of this? I took my wheel off and looked at everything. Did the classic balljiont test and everything seems to be tight. Its really bothering me and I wanna get my alignment done. If u need more info just ask. Or pics. Thanks a ton fellas!

You mean a shimmy, aka DW. No a shock bushing won't do that. Have a friend move the steering wheel back and forth, and look for any thing not up to par or warn out.
