Front end clunk and brake shudder ... 200 1986

Redid most of the front end not too long ago, and just put it back on the road ...

Alas, it hasn't cured one of my prior issues - the entire front end shakes badly when braking. The steering wheel stays pretty steady, though.

The new issue is clunking when going over bumps.

Replaced were front struts, outer tie rod, ball joints, and a-arm bushings.
Needing replacement still is sway bar bushings (mount bushing is shifting back and forth, which may just be the very cause of the clunk), and then it's taking it in for full alignment (despite marking the tie rod, it's pretty far off).

These two will be resolved by this weekend, but otherwise, any suggestions on what could still be an issue?

Thanks!
