Default Suspension clud after new lower ball joints

I was getting a suspension clud coming from my car and ended up getting the LBJ's replaced on both sides due to a failed safety inspection. New parts made noise go away.

For some reason it is now back. Best way to describe it is a clud noise over gradual dips in the road. If you hit a pothole it isn't there but if you ride out a low spot it seems to show up in the zenith of that dip as if something is re-set/resprung.

Hope that makes sense. I haven't had time to take it back in but it wasn't making noise until it got cooler out again and I seem to notice it most when cold.

Thanks in advance

sounds like strut rod bushing trouble to me, but have them recheck it.

Suspension thud in these cars, normally, point toward a worn out strut rod bushing as Billy suggested above.
