'03 Kia Rio knock sounds

Hi
Just changed the right lower control arm in the front suspension at dealers garage. Kia rio 2003 model. 120000km timed. However after a week of driving i noticed an annoying sound that comes only at low speeds and appears to be from suspension or front. Its nothing to do with the wheels.
Its hard to describe: It single click sound that comes the moment the vehicle slows after it lunges forward or backward with acceleration or deceleration of the gears. Its a manual transmission. But it is most audible at slow speeds of under 20km p hour.
I am at my wits end trying to figure out what it is:  as i have changed almost all bushings in suspension. Including Tension rod bushind, control bar bushings and now the lower control arm bushings. What could it be?
Would be greatly appreciated if you can point me in the right direction now. Thanks alot in advance.
(edit to just change subject line)

I wouldn't exclude wheels quite yet as it only happens when moving.
Guess: It could be brake pads moving as a maybe. If they can move (cool/cold) forward and backward by hand in their spots there could be broken or missing clips and anti-rattle parts that control noises with them??
