Default Vibration at speed/VSC light flashes on & off

So just a quick run down.
Over the past few months the ride was getting worse & started to hear suspension clunking.
At 130,000 I replaced all 8 control arms, inner & Outer tie rods replaced, & sway bar links replaced.
I rotated, re-balanced the wheels, & did a 4 wheel alignment.
Now....
When I'm driving I can still hear something -_- but everything drives normal, when I let go of the steering wheel, it stays straight.
As soon as the road gets bumpy(mainly on passenger side), the car gets unsteady & VSC light comes on & of only for a second, then everything is normal again.
I'm thinking it might be a motor or trans mount. I only say this because once in awhile at a stop the car quivering.
I've put 700 miles on the car since replacing everything.
Anyone else experience this? Any help would be appreciated!

Must the the idiot at the shop not connected something properly, try bringing it to a better place and have them check all the connection plugs wires and if everything is tight.

Everything was done properly & we have rechecked all connections & bolts.
The ride is very good, I can do 100pmh without any worry, but for the split second the road is bumpy, VSC flashes on & off a couple times, car shacks, then everything back to normal.
Now I'm wondering if:
1. The arms are the older version. (not sure if that would cause this)
2. The knuckles ball joint is the issue.
3. Engine or Trans mount
4. After looking at the alignment shop print out, everything is within spec except the 'caster' of the passenger side. (They claim this wont cause it)
