Default Strange noise continued after BJ replacement

I replaced the lower BJ recently (128k miles) because I was hearing a tum-tuck noise in a bumpy road. The BJ was not bad at all, only a little free play. The weird is I continue hearing the same noise at before in both sides.

Anytime I take a bump I hear a tump-tump at front. The steering is alright.
Checked everything; tie rods, bushings, steering rack but couln't find where the noise come from.
The mechanic also verified all components when doing the job.
By the way, he charged $25 for each wheel plus I paid $60 for each BJ locally.
Total $170
Any idea what could cause this disturbing noise?? Thanks guys

Check the sway bar endlinks first and if that is not the cause of problem, then make sure that he torque the bolts according to spec.
