SPG unusual knock at low speeds

I had just replaced my u-joint in my steering column along with the outer sway bar bushings with good used bushings. This got rid of play in the steering wheel and made the car tighter around the corners than ever before. This lasted about 3 days. Now I'm getting a knock and things are the suspension is getting unpredictable again.
In detail - still a tight steering wheel, but I swear it takes more turning of the wheel at low speeds (less than 5mph) to get the wheels to respond. Also the knocking. Happens over bumps at like 3mph but ALSO comes out when nothing is happening on flat ground. Like when I'm smoothly coming to a stop from 10-0 mph on flat road, I get a knock, knock, knock which feels like its coming from just inches away from the brake pedal.
Would my 'good used' bushings be bad already? is it the inner bushings? I feel like the sway bar is hitting something, but what would cause such action at such an easy speed. I think Im just gonna get some new poly bushings and be done with the 'good used'.
Thanks for reading!
