Over bumps? When turning? Both? Did you notice the noise before you did the shocks and front bushings (guessing control arm bushings?) Or not until after?

double check the bolts on the rear shocks, if thats all you changed back there and the sound wasn't there before then it shouldn't take much to find it.

I would suspect you didn't get the top bolt torqued enough, or you didn't get the rubber isolators in position correctly, should go: shock/metal washer/rubber isolator/hole in body/rubber isolator/metal washer/nut. when tightening the top mount you MUST use whatever method the shock has for holding the shaft from spinning while tightening the nut.
