Did you replace brake rotors? I would be rechecking to make sure everything is back together correctly. Maybe start with wheel nut torque ?

Do you feel like you are driving over a washboard when you slow down for a traffic light? If so, it could be tie rods. I know you didn't do anything to the tie rods, just a reminder to keep them in mind during trouble shooting.

I know this may sound unlikely but check your tires for a shifted belt. I was in your same situation (replaced basically my whole front end) and come to find out after interrogating my wife she "bumped" into a curb and the belt shifted just enough to only feel it when I turned.

Has anyone thought about engine mounts ? I've tried / changed all this myself. Saw that my passenger side mount has large tear. Dealer part only for 4.7 engine. $515.00 .
