Default Clunking sound/feel (front)

Ive been searching and havent really found what im looking for.
Heres the setup
92 Hatch
B18c5 Swap
Brand New Konis front/rear with 450lb springs in the front

Two things happen:
1)Going over bumps at LOW speeds I will hear and feel a clunking in my steering wheel.
2)When going SLOW if I stab my brakes I will hear and feel this clunk (not as intense as if I hit a bump but you can notice it)

About a week ago I checked to make sure every bolt/nut was torqued down to spec (Everything checked out) And I noticed my right front wheel bearing is starting to go.

soooooooooo.

Tonight I tore into and removed both knuckles (getting both bearings replaced) And checked everything in there...and...everything seems to be fine.

What should I be looking for?
Could that bearing becausing the clunk?

Thanks Guys

I got a bad axel and you can definetly feel it in the steering will. It happens because the ball bearings bind up in the cv joint.
