Front Suspension Leaf Spring Problems of Ford F-350

I started to hear a clunking in the front end of my 2017 f350 when going over bumps (low speed and high speed). I took it in to the dealer and the said I had excessive play in my tie rod ends, so they replaced them along with a lower control arm. About a week later, I started hearing the noise again and when I would go over bumps in the road, even at low speed, the truck would want to wander. I took it in a second time and they found the anti sway bar had excessive play, so they replaced that. I asked why a new 1 ton truck would already need front suspension components replaced and they said they didn't know. The truck did drive better for awhile, but shortly after I started hearing the noise again. I had to get the oil change, so I asked them to check on it while it was in there. They said they did the oil change but couldn't check the noise complaint because they didn't have time. They did however do another 42 point inspection and said everything was ok. I brought it in about a week later because the noise was still there. They told me that they couldn't replicate the problem, but the tech said it could be coming from the rear leaf pack because, "sometimes the trucks come from the factory with the rear leaf springs lubricated and they aren't supposed to be", so he sprayed degreaser on them and they couldn't hear any noise anymore. I asked why the factory would do that, and again, they had no answer. I drove it with the service manager (around the corner) and of course it didn't make the noise. I took it home hoping the problem was solved, but I soon realized that the truck still makes the clunking noise when going over bumps, even backing in my driveway and it still wanders, even pulling into one direction when I go over bumps/transitions on the road/highway at low and higher speeds. I have made a complaint to Ford and will be contacting a lemon law attorney.
