Bobbling noises!

Just replaced all 4 struts and expected a beautiful ride and the noises which I thought were the struts to dissapear but now the noises are still there. When I hit bumps it sounds like something is severely loose in the front and back. My front suspension is all new with the exception of the inner tie rods so I can't understand what the noise could be. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If they're bad, I'll notice it for sure if I pry at it? I was thinking control arms of some sort, or sway bars cuz they look old as hell.

Have you replaced the ball joints and/or bushings?

The front upper and lower ball joints I replaced and the stabilizer bushings as well. That's it for bushings though. Just wanna figure it out and replace, because it's very frustrating to hit a bump and hear this all around the car. I'm gonna do upper control arm and rearward and forward control arms in the rear of the car within a few weeks so I'll keep you posted.

Update! Replaced my front swaybar bushings(the middle two) and the bobbles in the front are gone. Yay!!!!!!!! On to the rear as that's been worse from the start. Just ordered the two middle bushings for the rear swaybar today from Acura and already have the outers from rockauto.com. Think I'm gonna pull the whole bar off and sand it down as it looks rusted and ancient.

At the moment, just trying to get her riding smooth on a budget. For the 4 sway bar bushings, it cost me like $19 and probably another $30 for the front links and bushings. Can't cough up $120 +shipping at the moment. What is included in that kit? Pretty much every bushing for the suspension?

Finished the rear swaybar bushings today and it sounds even better. The back is tighter feeling although there is still some clunk in the back right, but less since I replaced the 4 swaybar bushings!
