Default Clunking noise in front end at low speeds

I have replaced parts in my 1998 318ti as follows: Bilstein sport struts, control arms, swaybar connectors, inner and outer tierods, front rotars and brake pads. All from BavAuto. I have a clunking noise that sounds like metal on metal from both wheel areas at 25-30mph on a washboard road. Front end is aligned. I cannot feel any of the clunking in the steering wheel. Cannot locate problem. Any suggestions?

Try jacking up the front of the car, and rock the wheels side to side, top and bottom. Stick a pipe or prybar under the wheel and lift up and down. Any clunking or noise should narrow down where your problems are. Also check all your hardware while its up in the air.

did it start right when you installed the new suspension?
