Help with a front end creek please

I just finished putting my 70 half ton front end together. I rebushed the upper and lower control arms, added plenty of grease during the build. I have made sure the C clamps are tight. The creek happens when the front end is pushed strait down at the grill or front fender. I feel it is definetly coming from the control arms. Ive greased them while a buddy is moving the front end and checked all the body bolts. Whats next?

Did you also replace the rods or just the end caps? All the hardware tight that holds it to the frame? Ball joint?
