Popping after suspension replacement.

I just replaced front end, lower and upper control arms, ball joints, front sway bar end link, outer and inner tie rod ends. New brakes and shocks all the way around. Now, when I drive there is a popping and rattling sound from the slightest bump in the road. It wasn't doing this before the parts change. I don't think I have anything loose that I have replaced. I sprayed WD40 on rear suspension rubber and bushings, to see if that helps, as those bushings are worn and need to be replaced. Didn't help. Still pops and rattles. Any thoughts on what to check?
 
Check what you touched and replaced etc.
 
Thank you for the help. I checked all parts I replaced. All were nice and tight. So, I decided to replace parts, starting at most recent. I had just replaced shocks. I went with, and please don't kick me out of club for it, Duralast. I know, I should have used those Last! Haha. But, since my Av is stock, no lift, no tires, no aftermarket mods, I figured they would be ok. They are not. So, upon the suggestion of the parts store guy, who's also a fellow vet, I switched to Monroe monotube shocks. Popping stopped. So, I learned a lesson I already knew, or at least should have known.
