Dodge caliber with a knock in the suspension.... Ideas?

I replaced the struts on my 2007 dodge caliber(85,0000 miles )after conducting a bounce test that confirmed their wear however i only  replaced the struts not the springs. I also changed the ball joints after noticing alot of play.  Now im getting a weird squeak over  bumps followed by several knocks that can be felt in the suspension.  The sound the suspension makes is almost like a crunchy knock if that makes sense..... Any ideas?  P.S i have confirmed with a mechanic that the struts are properly installed to spec

It is odd they would fail so soon but... Dodges are known for a weak bearing at the very top of the strut. It allows the steering to rotate. A simple thing is to go back and check all fasteners to be sure they are tightened according to their torque specifications. There should be an isolation pad or ring between the springs and strut assembly were they installed? Do any of the components have grease fittings needing greased? It is typical to assemble everything leaving the fasteners hand tight then lower the car so it is sitting with the weight on the wheels and then torque the fasteners. If the fasteners were torques with the wheels hanging then the car is lowered the rubber bushings will be pre-loaded which causes an odd squeaking or creaking noise.
